The United Way of Chatham-Kent and Women United are once again supporting women in need by collecting donations of feminine hygiene products.
Tampon Tuesday will take place on October 17 with the two groups accepting donations of pads, tampons, and cups, as well as other hygiene items such as deodorant, shampoo and soap.
A donation drive-thru event will also be held that day at the Chatham location of Royal LePage Peifer Realty at 425 McNaughton Ave. W between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
All of the donations will be sorted and distributed to organizations and programs throughout Chatham-Kent.
During last year’s Tampon Tuesday, more than 2,000 items were donated for distribution to 25 community programs and agencies.
