It was an absolute honor & one of the proudest moments of my life when @period_priority was recognized by the NL House of Assembly on May 30🙏🏼 Thank you to the community for supporting the menstrual equity movement!💖
Last week, Holly and Emil from the GPL went out and purchased two carts full of groceries for the Community Food Sharing Association Using a community service grant provided by #RisingYouth.

ALT Photo of Holly pushing a cart full of groceries. There are boxes of applesauce, tampax, and KD.

They purchased $750 worth of school lunch snacks (granola bars, applesauce, juiceboxes), pantry staples (pastas, bread, canned fruit/veg/legumes), period products (tampons, pads, liners), and fresh bread!
This was a small action to address food insecurity in our community, as the cost of living continues to skyrocket in NL.
While applications for #RisingYouth grant are now closed, we encourage other groups to apply in the future.
We worked with @/StJohnsReviews on Tiktok to make a video about the lab and what our members are up to! ★
Watch below to hear from Dr. Amanda Bittner, Holly Fox, Victoria McLean, Emil Francis, Ciara Ivany, and Sunzida Ali!
