Ever since Mrs Meiklejohn spoke about a usually forbidden topic – periods – she has been stopped by hoards of people who want to help.
“I had a 75-year-old lady call me,” she said.
“It was the most amazing call.
“I had a really positive conversation with her.”
The River and Wren Market founder used the market’s second birthday to help Share the Dignity, which provides homeless women or women in shelters with sanitary items.
“We’ve had a fabulous day,” Mrs Meiklejohn said.
The donation box was almost filled and items are still being collected at Northcott Disability Services this week before they are distributed in Wagga.
The November 13 market will support Share the Dignity’s ‘In the Bag’ initiative, where women donate old handbags filled with toiletry items for homeless women.
