It's not every day a cause is fought for by filling a bag full of baby clothes but due to the efforts of two Whanganui women, the fight to end period poverty is under way.
The Fill-a-Bag fundraiser for The Good Fund is being run in 16 locations nationwide throughout June with Te Maari Barham and Kay Benseman hosting Whanganui's event at 10 am on June 22 at St Peter's Church Hall.
Barham said the fundraiser pulled together two things that were extremely important to her.
"It is about ensuring menstruating people in New Zealand have easy and affordable access to menstrual products and sustainability," she said.
They are currently seeking donations of baby clothes that will be recirculated from a family who no longer needs them to another in need to keep them out of a landfill, says Braham.
