The Women’s Giving Circle (TWGC) had a successful Go With The Flow (GWTF) packing party on Jan. 22 due to the kindness and generosity of the PebbleCreek community. Each year we partner with GWTF, a charitable organization here in Phoenix to provide women’s hygiene products to lower income and unsheltered women in Phoenix and the West Valley.
Some 90 members and friends of TWGC gathered and packed 1,500 hand–sewn bags with donated products. We are pleased to report that the bags have been delivered to Phoenix libraries, and arrangements have been made for deliveries to Aqua Fria High School District (SD) including the Owl Closet, Litchfield Elementary SD, and Avondale SD. We couldn’t be more pleased.
Special thanks are abound. We want to acknowledge Just-in Time Moving and Storage for their continued generosity and sponsorship of packing boxes. We appreciate your support and will remember you in our next move. To our PebbleCreek neighbors, we are grateful for your donations of fabric, for your time and energy in cutting patterns, sewing the bags, and embellishing them with buttons. For those who made a cash donation or donated hygiene products through the online wish list, this project could not exist without your unselfishness and awareness of those in need.
