Days for girls

On Sunday, April 11, we welcomed Pastor Karie Charlton and in her message she spoke about the mission 'Days for Girls' which provides girls with healthcare products and health education. Days for Girls has reached more than 2 million women and girls in 144 countries with period products and health education. Days for Girls advances menstrual equity, health, dignity and opportunity for all. ​

​Here are ways anyone can help:  ​

1. Make a monetary donation to The Pittsburgh Chapter or to Days for Girls International ​
2. Purchase needed materials from our Amazon wish list or a JoAnn Fabric Gift Card, and arrange for a safe drop off 
3. Ship wish list items directly to Third Church. You can contact the Pittsburgh Chapter by emailing pittsburgh@daysforgirls.org  
4. Like the Pittsburgh Chapter Facebook page to see updates on the projects

Here are ways you can help if you are able to pick (and drop off) items up at Third Church:  ​

1. Measure underwear (to help standardize the sizing in multiple brands) and roll it so that it can ship compactly in the kits.  Underwear is ready for pick up at the church.  Please take only what you think you can manage to finish and drop back off within a week.
2. Wash flannel with the fragrance-free dye-free detergent provided in each bag.  This is an on-going part of the process so it’s ok if it takes a little longer to accomplish this task.  
3. Because of the current restrictions we can not let extra volunteers in to pack the kits. Our Chapter’s leadership team can fill the number of people we can safely put in our room.
