The United Way Windsor-Essex Chatham-Kent is holding its ‘Period Promise’ event, addressing period poverty in the region.

The event was formerly known as Tampon Tuesday. It collects menstrual products for those unable to afford them or access them.

In a time where many are struggling, the community is invited to come together and donate menstrual products to the initiative.

Collection will take place on Tuesday at the Harbour House Waterfront Eatery from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. You are invited to stop inside and mingle, enjoy complimentary appetizers and live music. Alternatively, you can choose the drive-thru option for a quick drop off.

Donations can also be sent online.
