This #ThankyouThursday we are so grateful for the support this community showed to our Tampon Tuesday this week! Along with our partners Peterborough and District Labour Council, Peterborough's MOVE 99.7, Peterborough's Pure Country, Pure Country105, Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board and Kawartha Food Share we were able to collect 23,030 pads, tampons, liners, cups and personal care items in just 3 hours! Kawartha Food Share is thrilled to be able to move these through our community so that people who are struggling to afford these basic hygiene items can manage their periods with dignity.

Period poverty is a pervasive issue locally.
Single parents often choose between buying tampons or food for their families, and trans and non-binary kids are scrambling in washrooms putting together makeshift pads that don’t suit their needs. Too many families skip out on social events, like going to the library or the pool, because it’s easier to stay home than to risk bleeding in public. People are missing school or leaving work, and too many people face the additional challenges of homelessness, living with a disability, or just the stigma around having a period at all. It isn’t always easy to ask for help, or know where to find it.
You can help! Join United Way Peterborough & District, Kawartha Food Share, Peterborough and District Labour Council, Peterborough's Pure Country and Peterborough's Move in donating menstrual products for Tampon Tuesday, March 28th between 3-6PM.
