Woolworths is once again joining forces with Share the Dignity to support their bi-annual Dignity Drive, working to provide menstrual equity for all.
For every period care product purchased in-store or online at Woolworths until 31 March, 5¢ will be donated to Share the Dignity. These funds will help provide free period care products to those in need and maintain over 107 Dignity vending machines across Australia.
A number of offers will be available to all customers throughout the month across the period care range, including half price on the U by Kotex range for the next week until 11 March.
Pink collection boxes will also be available in all Woolworths stores for customers who would like to donate any period care products that are in their original packaging, including pads, tampons, menstrual cups, period undies, reusable pads, as well as incontinence aids.
“There’s always a lot of passion for the Dignity Drives in our stores, with many team members dressing in pink and hosting events to support Share the Dignity,” says Woolworths Supermarkets Community Programs Manager Loretta Arrastia.
“We’d like to thank all of our customers and team members for their ongoing support.”
Woolworths has partnered with Share the Dignity since 2019, with more than $3 million raised through various Dignity Drives and fundraising events.
“We’ve accomplished so much over the last 10 years and I’m so proud of the work that we’ve done, but there is still so much more to do,” says Share the Dignity founder and Managing Director Rochelle Courtenay.
“No one who menstruates should have to experience the indignity of having to substitute period products and so we must rally together to ensure no one has to face period poverty alone.”
