Join us in the Community Meeting Room, Main Branch to help create reusable sanitary pads for the Girls 4 Girls Ghana organization. More than 20% of girls in Ghana miss school due to lack of supplies for menstrual cycles. All materials will be provided, including scissors and sewing equipment. There are a lot of jobs for everyone, but sewers are also strongly encouraged to attend! Feel free to bring your own sewing machine. For grades 3rd-12th and adults.

If you can't make it, no worries, we welcome people to stop by and show their care with donations of underwear and sanitary napkins. Donations are welcomed from now till MLK Day.
