We will be collecting hygiene items, menstrual products, fabric, and coloring supplies that will be assembled into care kits for underserved individuals and farmworker families.

Community in Action
Everyone should have access to basic care and opportunities to learn and grow. We’re proud to partner with Days for Girls, a global organization focused on menstrual health and education, and the Center for Farmworker Families, which advocates for the well-being of farmworkers. Thank you for joining us in this community effort to provide essential items and creative supplies that promote wellness and literacy!
