The United Way/Centraide of Windsor-Essex County and students at 16 different high schools are helping low-income women fight menstrual poverty.
Tuesday is both International Women's Day and Tampon Tuesday.
While the students hold collection drives at their schools, the agency will be hosting a drive-thru event where the public can donate menstrual hygiene products.
The event runs from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the United Way's parking lot off McDougall Avenue, just north of Giles Boulevard East.
People can put their donations in the truck of their vehicle and stay inside at all times. Volunteers will take them from the trunks while maintaining social distancing.
"Far too many people in our community are living in low-income and simply cannot afford menstrual hygiene products," read a release from the agency. "These products are some of the least donated items to food banks."
The products will go to people in need across the region through the Windsor-Essex Food Bank Association, St. Clair College, the University of Windsor, Pozitive Pathways, Street Help, and the United Way's On Track to Success Program.
