This year we encouraged the staff at Algoma Public Health, Wawa Family Health Team, and the Lady Dunn Health Centre to join in on “Feminine Friday”. The least donated item to food banks across Canada is feminine hygiene products. The staff were challenged to gather products by a certain Friday in the month of October. The donations were remarkable!!
