Year 2

On Tuesday, March 5, 2019 in celebration of International Women’s Day, we held a gathering to celebrate women and bring light to the struggles that poverty brings to menstruation. This year we collected 501 boxes, totaling 13,795 individual products. With those donations we will be able to provide the supplies for 603 individual periods or for perspective, provide products for 50 women in poverty for a full year.

We would like to extend thanks to local businesses such as Shoppers Drug Mart, Azure Medispa, Local Metros and with a huge thank you to the Sault Ste. Marie and District Labour Council and all their unions for the support they provided.

A special thanks to Michelle, a local community member, who heard about our efforts and was able to collect additional products with the help of her friends, family and co-workers.

Lastly, thank you to the community as a whole, for coming and attending the event and for the support they have showed for this great cause.
