LOCALS wanting to help those less fortunate are urged to get behind the Share the Dignity August drive by donating unopened period care products to help end period poverty.

Founded in 2015, Share the Dignity aims to make essential sanitary products available to vulnerable women across the country, so nobody is forced to choose between buying food or the products necessary to get through their period.
