A Message from Mayor Susan Shin Angulo |
|
Dear Neighbor:
March is Women’s History Month. Women’s History Month honors and celebrates the achievements of American women throughout the history of the United States, and recognizes their struggles along the way. American women have long fought to gain rights not simply for themselves, but for many other underrepresented groups in America.
In recognition of Women's History Month, you can show your support by donating to Distributing Dignity, a local organization that partners with nonprofits to help benefit women in need. Donate an unopened package of pads between March 1–31 and help them reach their goal!
There are a few ways to participate:
-
Order from their Amazon Wish List: https://bit.ly/3bozbjP
- Ship items to: 1285 Marlkress Road, Cherry Hill, NJ 08003
- Hold your own collection and schedule drop-off or pick-up with them
-
Bring your donation to their Drive-Thru Donation Event at the Cherry Hill Public Library on Saturday, March 20 from 12-2pm (Rain Date March 27). Bring your donation and please wear a mask.
Please continue to stay safe.
Sincerely,
|
