On May 2, humanists across the country are joining together for the American Empathy Project — one national day of action to show that care beats cruelty.
Here in Charleston, Secular Humanists of the Lowcountry and Lowcountry Period Pixies are putting that into action by assembling 250+ period packs for students in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties.
We'll be assembling period packs containing pads, liners, and wipes, which will be distributed to public school students across the tricounty area.
1 in 4 women and girls can't afford period products. Many miss school or work because of it. Period products can't be purchased with SNAP or WIC benefits and are rarely donated to food banks.
We gratefully accept individually wrapped maxi pads, liners, and hygiene wipes. Bring some along if you can — every item helps us assemble more packs.
All are welcome. Bring a friend!
Can't make it but want to help?
💵 Donate money toward period supplies — SHL will use every dollar to buy more products. https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/period-pixies-american-empathy-project
📦 Shop our Amazon Wish List — products ship directly to us. Items must be individually wrapped. https://tinyl.co/4Toc
