Young Women’s Giving Circle to Focus Efforts on Providing Feminine Products to Women and Girls in Need - Can You Help?
The YWGC is collecting and providing feminine products to county residents in need - for our inaugural year philanthropic project. As part of our efforts, we are also collecting funds to help purchase these items. “We are so proud of these young philanthropists who are committing themselves to learn more about the community and raising money to fund programs that are meaningful to them” said Barb Van Winkle, WGC Advisory Board Chair. You can find a list of collection sites here. If you are interested in assisting with this campaign, please contact us at youth@wgchowardcounty.org. We look forward to the collective impact we will make together in Howard County, and specifically in the lives of hundreds of women and girls. Thank you for your interest in donating to our Feminine Hygiene Product Project! |
