Pads 4 Dignity Outreach | Keep the Pads Coming! | Let’s Support Women in Need
We will continue to collect feminine hygiene pads in the back of church. Thank you for your continued support. We recently packaged 321packs of pads and have distributed them to Bienvenidos, South High School Food Pantry, and Regis Mobile Food Pantry. We are also now adding messages of encouragement in the packages. Thank you to the “Pad Packing” team who showed up to help. If you have the time, it is helpful to package pads, 18 in a zip- lock bag as this is the way they are distributed and the amount most women need in a month. Our next pad packing event will be Aug. 13 @ 10am in the parish hall. Contact Ann if you’d like to help. Thank you to Cathy Hanasits for heading up this outreach.
If you have questions, contact Ann Zimmer in the office. Thank you for your continued generosity.
