In partnership with the United Way of Central Maryland and the Maryland Department of Service and Civic Innovation, The Network hosted an amazing group of volunteers! On this national day of service, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., our volunteers helped to pack menstrual products for our network schools. Despite these products now being available in schools free of charge, period poverty remains a serious problem outside of school for low income students and their families. Volunteers along with special guests Councilman Izzy Patoka and Councilman Mike Ertel helped pack 480 bags!
Big thank you to Phoebe Evans Letocha for her continuous advocacy and efforts.
