A non-profit organization that focuses on ending period poverty across B.C. is hoping Tri-City residents can contribute to the cause through the remainder of October.
Moon Time Sisters BC is in the middle of its 2021 fall drive and has set up five donation stations across Coquitlam and Port Moody, of which menstrual products are set to be distributed to isolated, remote and Indigenous areas.
The group is a project of True North Aid, which provides humanitarian support to northern Canadian communities.
It also hopes to "promote the power and solidarity" for those who menstruate but don't have access to the right products, physically or financially.
Donation boxes in the Tri-Cities are set up at the following locations:
COQUITLAM
- The Body Shop: Coquitlam Centre
PORT MOODY
- Sugaring Change: 3130 St.John’s St #3
- Bump Physio & Co.: 88 Kyle St.
- RVN Wellness: 2506 St.John’s St
- 30 Minute Hit: Port Moody
Accepted products include tampons, pads, liners, reusable menstrual pads, and menstrual cups/discs.
