BC Student Runs Feminine Hygiene Drive through SESF

Karen Bosshart, a member of the sustainability community on campus and also an employee of the Student Programs front desk, is running a feminine hygiene product drive to help students in need on campus. Karen drew attention to the fact that there is a Food Pantry on the 2nd floor of the Student Union, and it’s a place where people can donate or receive food, or other items that they may need. However, many people are not aware that they can donate feminine products.

From January 17th to 27th, please donate new, packaged pads and tampons to marked bins in the B,C,L,S,R, and T buildings or the pantry located on the second floor of the C Building. Any type of product is welcomed as women all have different body types! Check out the poster here:Feminine Product Drive Poster

Karen attended the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education’s annual conference in Baltimore this fall, and noticed that she could make a real difference on campus. She obtained funding for her project through the Student Environmental Sustainability Fund. If you have a project idea that has a positive impact on social or environmental responsibility, please check out the link above!!

If you would like to get ideas for projects by attending a conference, we are going to the Washington Higher Education Sustainability Conference February 15-17. Please apply by January 27th. For more information or to get an application, click here or visit Student Programs Front Desk!
