Local businesses like Lally Ford are the backbone of our community initiatives! They stepped up for Period Promise in CK by donating the use of their van to transport collected products, and their Mega Machine Party event collected food donations for the Tilbury Information and Help Centre - United Way of Chatham-Kent. We couldn’t help our community without the help of local workplaces – if you want to learn more about how you can get involved email [email protected]!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and it’s time to talk about the stressors that impact our community's well-being. With 1 in 4 households in Chatham-Kent now struggling to meet basic needs, the stress of period poverty—missing school, work, or social life—is a barrier to dignity and wellness.

Period Promise is working to lift that burden. Help us build a stronger, healthier CK. Host a collection drive or donate online to support Period Promise in CK and be sure to join us at Match Eatery & Public House - Chatham on May 28th for a Social Celebration!
