Tampon Tuesday donation drive in Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry

Donations will be collected from March 8 – 23, 2021 at the United Way/Centraide SDG office 

United Way/Centraide SDG is excited to run the first Tampon Tuesday product drive in our region, starting on International Women’s Day. The theme this year is to #ChooseToChallenge, and we want to use this as 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.

Starting March 8 and running until March 23, 2021, community members are encouraged to donate pads, tampons, liners, cups, and other menstrual hygiene products to help fill this gap in our region. Donated products will be given to Sexual Assault Support Services Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry & Akwesasne and Maison Baldwin House.

How to give
