As we wrap up another incredible community campaign, we’re feeling so grateful for the workplaces and organizations that showed up in a big way. ❤️

These employee-led initiatives bring people together to learn more about their community and its needs all while having A LOT of fun. From payroll giving, to creative, morale-boosting events, it’s all about making an impact together.

The best part? These shared opportunities to host fundraisers and plan team events create real, lasting change right here in Peterborough.

Our community showed up in a big way for Period Promise 2026!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Peterborough & District, this year’s Period Promise campaign collected 41,556 menstrual products, far surpassing our goal of 25,000 products collected.

That’s over 41,000 items that will now be distributed through our friends @kawarthafoodshare , helping ensure individuals and families have access to essential products they shouldn’t have to go without.

Because the reality is: 1 in 4 people in Canada who menstruate have had to choose between period products and other basic needs.

This campaign is about more than products, it’s about dignity, access, and breaking the stigma.

To everyone who donated, hosted drives, and helped spread the word: thank you for being a part of this impact.

Sometimes, when you’re this close to the goal… you have to go to great heights to get there. ⬆️

Today, Paul Rellinger, Campaign Chair for United Way Peterborough & District, took to a roof in downtown Peterborough to share an important update: our community campaign is 96% of the way to our $1.6 million goal, with just $61,000 left to raise before March 31.

For many in the community, the rooftop moment may look familiar. Almost 15 years ago, Paul first climbed onto a roof to raise money for United Way through the original Relly on the Roof fundraiser. Today, he returned to remind us what’s possible when our community comes together.

The community has carried this campaign 96% of the way, now we’re asking for your help to raise the final 4%.

Let’s finish the climb together.
