The Renfrew and Area Food bank is going to have find room to stock all of the donations of tampons and pads they received at last night’s Tampon Tuesday. Organizer Mike Wright, with the Renfrew and District Labour Council, was thrilled with the packed house at Coco Jarry’s in downtown Renfrew.
Wright says the community really came together in a huge way, and the donations piled up throughout the evening.
Speakers included Patti Dillabough with the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation and Mitch Reinhart with Dominos Pizza. Volunteers with the Food Bank were on hand, and admitted they were not aware of the crucial need for menstruation products. Wright says they’re planning two more events for mid April, one in Arnprior and one in Pembroke.
