Due to an increase in demand for bags, I sorta freaked out and called Karen Merrell to have an “Emergency Packing Party”, and this afternoon the most amazing group of women got together and packed almost 200 bags. Our Contempo family is so strong, so fun and so fantastic. Kathryn Bogar, Kathlene Armstrong-Starkey, Maryetta, Margaret, Gail, and Karen, one of the finest human beings I have ever met
Thank you.

This morning Sierra Gleason and I distributed bags at Native Health Phoenix open house and what fun! We were next to the man who made balloon animals, saw dinosaurs, ate kettle corn and distributed 285 pad and tampon bags. It’s always a treat to distribute bags, and we love our partnership with Native Health! ... See MoreSee Less

One pallet of pads and one pallet of tampons were delivered today within about 15 minutes of each other, which made the morning relatively low-stress! Both drivers were wonderful, helpful and very nice. Whew! ... See MoreSee Less

I took bags to Jennifer Valencia on Sunday and received this text this morning…we KNOW what we do is good, but we so seldom hear it, so thank you Jennifer for taking care of people, and for letting us know! ❤️
Just wanted to give you an update on the pad and tampon packs that you gave me. I brought a bag of each to the Rollins laundromat over the weekend to give out to women in need who are doing their laundry. The two women who run the laundry program, Jen and Christal, passed them out to everybody.
I volunteered last night with the masa project in Phoenix and passed out multiple bags to women in need, and left some with a lead volunteer Irene so she can pass them out over the next couple of nights. They provide a nightly dinner to people in need and also pass out clothes and toiletries when they can.
The remaining pads and tampons will be giving out to people in need, some of the family families through AZ hugs and some other families.
I just wanted to thank you again for such a generous donation and for making the pad and tampon packs. So many women in need don't have access to sanitary products and are embarrassed to ask. It feels really good to be able to give people something that should be a fundamental basic that we all have.
Thank you again!
I'm the one in the bandana! This is from last night when we passed out a lot of the pad and tampon bags.

We have huge parties, we have medium parties, and we have small parties, and although the Tempe Women’s Club party was small, we all packed 300 pad bags. Each and every packing party is important, and helps women in our community maintain their dignity and health. PERIOD.
Thanks Tempe Women’s Club for you continued support. 💕
