Fill-the-Bus – a UWSVI menstrual product drive
On Saturday, May 25, help us fill a BC Transit bus with unopened boxes of tampons, pads, and other menstrual products to help those in need.
Local schools, municipal halls, businesses, unions, clubs, families, or individuals… you’re all invited to unite with us!
We’ll soon announce the location for our Fill-the-Bus event. In the meantime, please mark Saturday, May 25 (the weekend before International Menstrual Hygiene Day) in your calendars.
Want to participate? One of the most helpful things you can do is organize your own product drive! Check our TOOLKIT for tips and materials to help you get the ball rolling.
Bring a single box or fill the bed of your truck with products – we’ll be grateful to accept all of your donations.
As in previous years, Soap for Hope will distribute your donated products to a network of local social service agencies. Any funds donated to the initiative will be used to purchase new products for these agencies.
If you can’t wait until May 25, feel free to drop off your donated products at the United Way Southern Vancouver Island office:
201-663 Courtney Street
Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm
