2022 Tampon Tuesday Product Drive

Tampon Tuesday donation drive in Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry

Donations will be collected from March 7 – 22, 2022 at the United Way/Centraide SDG office 

We’re bringing back Tampon Tuesday to our region! Starting the week International Women’s Day, this two-week campaign, in partnership with Cornwall & District Labour Council,  is an opportunity to raise awareness about period poverty. It’s important that the most vulnerable in our region have access to menstrual hygiene products as they are often the most requested from shelters and foodbanks but the least donated.

In 2021, we ran our very first Tampon Tuesday product drive in this region, achieving an impressive 300+ packages of products donated. They were distributed to five local agencies: Agape, Naomi House, Akwesasne Healing Centre, Baldwin House, and Sexual Assault Support Services Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry & Akwesasne. This year, with your help, we want to double the amount of product donated to help even more people in our communities.

Starting March 7 and running until March 22, 2022, community members are encouraged to donate pads, tampons, liners, cups, and other menstrual hygiene products to help fill this gap in our region.
