set a new record this year! 550,000 menstrual products collected through the month of May for distribution in the community.
Reports in recent years have shown startling numbers when it comes to period poverty in BC:
⚠️ Half of people who menstruate have struggled to buy period products.
⚠️ 1 in 4 have had to sacrifice these items for other essentials such as groceries, a bus pass to get to work, or baby formula.
United Way BC is on a mission to end period poverty in our province. Pacific Blue Cross, in partnership with CUPE 1816, is proud to have supported the campaign this year with a gift donation - as well as the $6,800 raised through our team members' efforts.
