Woolworths and Share the Dignity are calling on Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay residents to participate in a Dignity Drive following an increased need across Victoria for period care products.
This month’s Dignity Drive aims to directly address period poverty and increase the number of freely available period care products across the state.
Woolworths will also donate five cents from each period care product sold during the drive to help fund support local community initiatives and Share the Dignity’s Dignity Vending Machines.
Woolworths Victoria state manager Sarah Gooding said they are proud to continue their partnership with Share the Dignity in addressing period poverty.
“We would also like to thank all our Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay customers who have donated as their generous contribution has helped lessen the impact of an already challenging time,”
Share the Dignity Victorian volunteer state team leader Donna Levinson-Murray said customers can purchase any period care product and donate it in store via the pink collection boxes located at the front of every Woolworths store or add a cash donation at Woolworths registers.
“Our efforts across Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay are well and truly in motion to end period poverty and we are pleased to have the support of Woolworths to raise awareness and lessen the impact again this year,” she said.
