More than $13,000 in tampons, pads, and other feminine hygiene products and cash was donated to area food banks for ‘Tampon Tuesday’. 
It’s the third year for the event in Chatham-Kent. The first drive saw over 750 products donated, with over 1300 collected last year.
Volunteers at the United Way have been sorting products to send them back out to food banks, women’s centre and other organizations over the next few days.
