Period Promise - Inventory Volunteer  Get Connected Icon

Description

About this Initiative

United Way British Columbia’s Period Promise campaign aims to collect 700,000 menstrual products to fight period poverty.  Over 95% of local community-serving organizations report that they are asked by their clientele if they can provide free menstrual products or know where any can be found; and for those that do provide the products, at least 80% of them depend on donations from the public through campaigns like Period Promise.

Working with other volunteers, the Period Promise Inventory Volunteer is a key part of helping to track, pack and inventory the donations that come in at the end of the Period Promise Campaign.
