FEBRUARY: PERIOD PROJECT. Periods suck. Periods when you can’t afford a tampon and don’t have access to a clean bathroom or a place to shower? Unimaginable — but the reality for some women who can’t afford proper menstruation essentials. This month, we assembled 876 period packets filled with tampons, pads, liners, wipes, and notes of care to be distributed to women – and girls – in need of kindness and a moment of dignity within our community.

JANUARY: SOLE STEPPING. Collected almost 250 pairs of shoes – from cleats to flips and every toe wrangler in-between as well as all sizes from smalls to talls. Sole Stepping then turns those unwanted shoes into credits to fund the purchase of NEW shoes for local elementary school children.
