Happy national Employee Appreciation day! These baby photos grew up into the team behind United Way Peterborough & District❤️ .
Different roles, and one shared goal: strengthening our community.
From fundraising and marketing, to community impact, finance, and operations, this team is working every day to help bring our Community Campaign home.
And right now… we’re only 4% away from our $1.6 million goal!
United Way Peterborough & District is SO grateful for the 7530 pads and 412 liners that we’ve received to date (March 6), but we are still in need of tampons, cups, and period underwear!

The likelihood of being unable to afford period products is even higher among Indigenous menstruators.

Other Ways to Advance Menstrual Equity: ~ Advocate for a basic income guarantee to prevent period poverty before it starts (support Bill S-206!) ~ Provide a variety of free period products in your workplace bathrooms ~ Offer menstrual leave in addition to your sick day policy, as well as related accommodations , including for those experiencing menopause

Bullying affects schools, homes, workplaces, and the digital world.
United Way Centraides invests $39.1M in kids` emotional wellbeing and partners with communities to empower youth, fostering positive relationships and safe environments where every child can thrive.
Today our team at United Way Peterborough & District proudly wears pink in recognition of #PinkShirtDay 💗
Thank you to @staplescanada for donating “Be Kind Always” shirts to United Way Centraides across the country, helping remove barriers so everyone can participate in this important day.
Pink Shirt Day is about more than a colour. It’s about creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, valued, and safe. It’s about standing up to bullying and standing up for one another.
We’re grateful to work alongside partners who don’t just talk about belonging — they actively invest in it. Kindness matters. Inclusion matters. Community matters.
Their leadership and support helps ensure that our incredibly talented local musicians are fairly compensated for sharing their time, creativity, and artistry with us. 🎶
That means when you join us this Thursday, you’re not only supporting housing and homelessness initiatives in our community, you’re also supporting the artists who make this night so special. 💛
🎟️ Tickets are still available grab yours at the link in our bio and be part of a night that uplifts both community and culture.
