Huron-Perth Period Poverty Taskforce looking for feedback

You can help decide the future of the Huron-Perth Period Poverty Taskforce's current pilot project in libraries across Huron-Perth.

The project sees free menstrual products offered to those who need them.

"Until the end of February, we'll be collecting data about the uptake of the products that are available in libraries throughout Huron and Perth counties," said Beth Rumble, director of cultural services and county librarian for the County of Huron. "At that point, we will look at the data of how much the product has moved and feedback we've heard in person, as well through the survey, about what our next steps are moving forward."

The survey is completely anonymous, asking community members if they will take part in the program and use the products, as well as your ideas on how to better provide products to those in need.

"We can always use more feedback on the survey," said Rumble.
