In celebration of International Women's Day and Women's History Month, we didn't ONLY want to sell some cool-ass lady-inspired gifts, we also wanted to gather some other cool-ass ladies to help support women in our community. A couple of years ago I saw a news piece about an inspiring Philadelphia woman, Shelley Aragoncillo, who had created Grab-N-Flow, a free-to-the-community menstrual and postpartum product shed that is located in Philly available to anyone in need. It's stocked with much-needed, critical supplies for women giving birth, newborn essentials, and other products for feminine health and wellness. Items in need include maxi pads, postpartum underwear, prenatal vitamins, baby bottles, formula, diapers of all sizes, and many more (found on the list below). These items are often expensive and not affordable for many women despite being a necessity.
For the third year in a row, I reached out to some of my fellow amazing women business owners in Manayunk asking if they would like to join together as "The Manayunk Wingwomen", and with the help of our beloved and supportive customers and clients, collect these super important things for this super important initiative. Join us by dropping off the needed items to any of the participating businesses drop-off points from March 8th thorough March 31st!
Here's the coolest part (aside from just being an amazing human) if you drop off a donation, you will get a custom Manayunk Wingwoman vinyl sticker, and this year we have NEW designs! Certain businesses are also offering additional goodies and discounts to make being charitable even more fun!
This year we are also collecting monetary donations for Women Against Abuse, Philadelphia’s leading domestic violence advocate and service provider, and one of the largest domestic violence agencies in the country. Please Venmo @Brandy-Deieso with your donation.
Thank you for helping us make International Women's Day and Women's History Month a month to not only just appreciate and think of the incredible, brave, and brilliant women that have paved the way for us throughout history, but to also use it as a chance to help our own women neighbors now.
