Free Reusable Period Products!

We’re so grateful to The Period Purse, a Canadian nonprofit working to achieve menstrual equity and reduce stigma through education and access. After attending one of their one-hour education sessions, we received a $2,000 donation of menstrual supplies,
completely free!

And here’s the best part:

Any organization or group that attends a session with The Period Purse is eligible to receive the same $2,000 donation.

We chose their reusable product package, which means we now have a limited supply of reusable period underwear and pads available at the Centre... and yes, they’re FREE!

Thinking about trying reusable products but not sure where to start?
Know someone who’s impossible to shop for this holiday season?
Why not grab a free pair of reusable period underwear or pads, a practical, sustainable gift with impact!

These are also great for:
• Students on a budget
• Folks without consistent access to period products
• Anyone curious about eco-friendly options
• People looking to reduce waste and save money long-term

Supplies and sizes are limited. We recommend booking an appointment to pick up your items. I’m often out in the community doing outreach, so this helps make sure someone is here to meet you.

Huge thanks to The Period Purse for making this possible and helping us support our community with dignity and choice.

To book an appointment or learn more, send us a message or call the Centre directly.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s break the stigma. Let’s lift each other up.
