It's a great opportunity to get caught up on testing and vaccines!

Props to the Town of Lunenburg for supporting Menstrual May! You can drop off donations at town hall.

P.S. We never turn down donations of menstrual underwear or tampons... they're hot items that disappear fast!

It's Menstrual May!

Menstrual May is a community campaign focused on raising awareness about period poverty and helping ensure everyone has access to essential menstrual products. Throughout the month of May, communities come together to collect donations, support local organizations, and help break the stigma surrounding menstruation. Every donation can make a meaningful difference.

Residents looking to support the campaign can donate liners, pads and tampons at Lunenburg Town Hall (119 Cumberland Street) during normal business hours.
