Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our girls at are young women who are eager to support other women in need. Our crochet and sewing club has taken off and these young women are excited to help out the community.

With this sewing machine our young ladies will be able to create blankets, reusable period pads, and bags to give to women in our community and women’s shelters.

With your support our students will be able to see the impact of giving back to the community and supporting women around them. In support of Women’s History Month we hope you can help!
