We are thrilled to announce that the 6th Annual Peterborough Performs – Musicians United to End Homelessness is scheduled for Thursday, February 26th 2026 from 7-11PM, at Showplace Performance Centre.
Peterborough Performs is a one-of-a-kind evening of live music and community impact. Featuring 14 talented local musicians, this special event brings our community together for one unforgettable night in support of our most vulnerable neighbours.
Through the power of music, we will shine a spotlight on homelessness as a critical issue in our city and raise vital funds to make a meaningful difference. Join us as we celebrate local talent, build awareness, and stand united for change.
If you can’t attend the live event or you’d like to support in more ways than one, you can shop our virtual auction, generously sponsored by LLF Lawyers.
From February 12 at noon through February 26 at 9:30 PM, our virtual auction will be open and ready for your bids. Explore an exciting collection of items and experiences, including private cooking classes, racetrack ride-alongs, beautiful home décor, and so much more. There’s truly something for everyone and every bid brings us closer to meaningful change.
When you participate in the Peterborough Performs online auction, you’re helping create safe, stable housing and brighter futures for individuals and families in our community.

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.
