Period Action Day: Project Marilyn Hosts Period Packing Party at Lexicon Bank
Project Marilyn, a nonprofit organization based in Nevada, is gearing up to celebrate Period Action Day on October 12th with a Period Packing Party at Lexicon Bank. This event, supported by both Lexicon Bank and Aunt Flow, aims to tackle the issue of period poverty in the local community.
The Period Packing Party is scheduled to take place from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm at Lexicon Bank’s facility located at 330 South Rampart Blvd, Suite 150, Las Vegas, NV 89145. The event will bring together staff members from Lexicon Bank and members of the community to assemble period supply kits for distribution to those in need.
In addition to packing period kits, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about period poverty and how they can contribute to addressing this critical issue. Lexicon Bank is generously providing the venue and products for the event, while Aunt Flow, a leader in menstrual product innovation, will be supplying high-quality products for the period kits.
