Every dollar raised will go directly toward ensuring we can keep our doors open and sustain our efforts into the new year. 💡 How You Can Help: Donate to our campaign to help cover our operational needs.

We've teamed up with Hamilton Public Library and Milton Public Library to host beginner menstrual pad sewing workshops this fall in partnership with HAGO’s Reusables Project. To date we have partnered with 5 municipal libraries to facilitate these workshops, reintroducing sewing skills back into the community, especially among youth! The Reusables Project is an initiative (initially the 5,000 reusables project launched in 2021) that aims to increase community sewing skills, raise awareness about menstrual health, end period poverty and support sustainability! #ReusablePads #BeginnerSewing #SewingWorkshop #Milton #MiltonLibrary #MakerSpace

🌟 This week, we had an incredibly successful packing party at Nuclear Waste Management Organization where the amazing team came together and (in record timing) packed over 100 menstrual pad and tampon supply kits for individuals facing period poverty! And that’s not all—NWMO has generously sponsored our period product support program, giving us the vital support we needed to push through the year! Their support will ship over 1000 menstrual kits for individuals in need across Canada!!! Thanks to their contribution, we can now reopen our application (paused due to limited funding) and finish the year. We are endlessly grateful to the phenomenal NWMO team for their commitment to ending period poverty! #ppsp #packingparty #periodpositiveworkplace #periodpoverty #endperiodpoverty #periodproducts
