Brockville & Area Food Bank, Girls Inc. of Upper Canada & QueenCare, Hosting Open Mic/Jam Session in Efforts to Receive Menstrual Product Donations
2024-10-05 13:00 - 16:00 | Stabucks Brockville, It is being held at Starbucks, 1981 Parkdale Ave E Unit D,, Brockville.
The Brockville & Area Food Bank, in partnership with Girls Inc. of Upper Canada and QueenCare, is hosting an Open Mic/Jam Session on Saturday, October 5th between 1-4 pm as part of our efforts to receive menstrual product donations!

1 in 6 Canadians who menstruate have experienced period inequity, and this number rises to 1 in 4 for households earning less than $40,000/year. Lack of access to menstrual products is closely linked to poverty and disproportionately impacts youth, single mothers, people experiencing homelessness, and gender-diverse individuals.

We see this statistic come to life every day with the clients that we serve at each of our respective organizations. That’s why we’ve chosen to collaborate with Starbucks and local artists to bring you an afternoon of live music and tasty treats – all for a good cause!

Stop by at any time to join in the fun! Not only will you be offering a helping hand to those facing period inequity in your community, but Starbucks will be providing a free drink to everyone who donates a menstrual product! We hope to see you there!
