Tampon Tuesday

–

8th Annual Tampon Tuesday collection drive starts March 1st, 2024

Proudly hosted by United Way Saskatoon & Area and the Saskatoon & District Labour Council 

Tampon Tuesday (TT) is a registered trademark of Bell Media. The initiative is a unique way of bringing the local community together to support people with periods. Since 2017, United Way Centraide Canada and the Canadian Labour Congress have partnered with Bell to use this trademark for period product collection and distribution initiatives across Canada. TT profiles the basic need for all individuals to have access to necessary period products and the challenges faced by many to obtain or purchase them. Through this initiative, volunteers and donors like you have distributed tens of thousands of period products to people in need through community-based organizations and schools in Saskatoon and surrounding area.

3 Ways to Get Involved

1.

During the month of March, collect period products with your friends, family, and/or colleagues. Schedule a collection pick-up by contacting United Way of Saskatoon and Area at 306-975-7700 or email office@unitedwaysaskatoon.ca. See our collection drive kit below for resources.

2.

Make a financial donation online and United Way will purchase boxes of pads and tampons to distribute on your behalf. You can also mail a cheque to 100-506 25th Street East Saskatoon, SK S7K 4A7.

3.

Visit your local Shoppers Drug Mart store between March 2nd to 18th to purchase period products and donate in-store. Donation drop-off bins will be located at the front of the store for your convenience. See map below.
