For 1 in 4 Canadians who menstruate, period products aren`t always in the budget. You can help address period poverty in our community by contributing to our Period Promise campaign.
This year, we`re sharing our running total by item type on our website [link in bio], so you can see what we have, and what we still need, as we aim to offer a greater diversity of product to residents experiencing period poverty. - We`re also accepting monetary donations, which will allow us to purchase items in bulk.
Product donations will be accepted at the United Way office (277 Stewart Street), Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM until Friday March 13. [Please note: We are closed February 16 for Family Day, and February 26 for Peterborough Performs and will not be present to accept drop offs.]
If you’d like to get more involved with our 2026 Period Promise campaign, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team! We’d be happy to help you setup a collection at your workplace, share educational resources, or chat about any other ideas you may have.

❤️ What a way to kick off our 2026 Period Promise campaign!
This Thank You Thursday, we are so grateful to the @wbnptbo for welcoming us at their February meeting last night. This group of amazing women showed up for our community in a big way - donating an incredible 6,101 menstrual products, and serving as our first official collection site.
We’re so grateful for all of the generous members who contributed. This strong start puts us well on our way to our goal of 25,000 products collected and distributed to people in need in our community in collaboration with @kawarthafoodshare
❤️ More collection sites and ways to get involved coming soon, stay tuned!
