KAMLOOPS — The United Way of British Columbia (UWBC) has launched its 10th annual Period Promise campaign, in hopes of meeting a growing need for menstrual products across the province.
The campaign runs until May 30 and it aims to tackle period poverty in communities across British Columbia. This year, the United Way says the need is more urgent than ever as more than 2.3 million period products have been requested across the province, and Kamloops is no different.
“In Kamloops and the Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo region that is running around 600,000 products,” Chelsea Ingram, a campaign manager at UWBC, told CFJC Today. “Last year, we were able to collect and give out about 65,000 products and so we’re hoping to continue to hit around that line this year.”
