2022 Tampon Tuesday Product Drive
2022-03-07 08:00 - 2022-03-22 16:00 (America/Toronto) | United Way/Centraide SDG, 55 Water Street W, Cornwall, ON, K6J 1A1, Canada
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.

We’re taking building community to new heights
Do you have what it takes to go Over The Edge for United Way Centraide SDG?
We’re launching our 2023 Campaign with a brand new thrilling fundraiser— raise $1000 to rappel off of one of Cornwall’s tallest buildings, the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation building on Pitt & Second.
Enjoy an amazing view of downtown Cornwall from the rooftop before rappelling 9 stories down the side of the building in this experience of a lifetime. Does this sound crazy? We hope so! It’s our aim to bring some fun and excitement to our annual campaign launch while raising money for our communities that have been deeply impacted by the cost-of-living crisis.
To make this happen (and to ensure the safety of our participants), we have partnered with Over The Edge, an adventure experience company, that has run over 1300 events across the globe for nonprofits just like this one. Safety is their number one priority. They ensure that the event follows the most stringent safety protocols while also providing training and support to all participants. This means that no experience is required to participate.
You, your company, and your friends will have the chance of a lifetime to be part of something truly thrilling and courageous.

If rappelling down a building isn’t your thing, that’s okay! There are other ways to support our Campaign launch.

We’re looking for sponsors!
If your company or workplace is interested in sponsoring our Over The Edge event, there are a few available packages to give your company visibility with a bit of adventure! Contact Stephanie Lapointe (stephanie@unitedwaysdg.com) if you’re interested.

Thank you to our 2023 Partners and Sponsors
