Happy Mental Health Monday! Try something creative today!!

So far we have made two deliveries of tampons thanks to the generous donations of many people. Three weeks ago we dropped off over 2,000 tampons at a women’s shelter in Marina. On Saturday we dropped off over 4,000 tampons to Community Solutions on our way to the CCS Championship Football game. 42 million women live at or close to poverty yet government funded programs like SNAP and WIC consider tampons and pads luxuries like pet food, alcohol and cigarettes. Many states, i...ncluding California, tax menstrual products. TamponTuesday continues! https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3OTQ0OTk2NjcyMj/

#Repost @thecarmelsandpiper with @get_repost This Club Saves Lives, a Carmel High School community service club, ran a Halloween fundraiser for the Food Bank for Monterey County last week to feed families around the peninsula. With the money that would normally be spent on candy, people could instead donate to the food bank by buying a Halloween-themed yard sign from the club for $25. The response was bigger than anyone had expected, showing that many Carmel families wer...e hesitant to trick or treat due to possible health risks. In a little over a week, 160 signs were sold, and $3,000 was raised in total, according to the club adviser Leigh Cambra. I am really excited about the success of the project, Cambra says, but I hope we don’t have to do it again and everyone is back to regular trick-or-treating next year. Junior Shannon Ikemiya, the secretary-treasurer of This Club Saves Lives, stepped up to the task of designing the signs. Three different designs were created, and people voted on their favorites. Having learned graphic design, I thought it would be a fun project to help with, Ikemiya says. Cambra got the idea from Peter Hiller, a resident of Mission Fields, the hotspot for trick-or-treaters all around the area. Hiller told Cambra he was planning to put out a yard sign explaining that he was donating instead of passing out candy, and the club took the idea to the next step, imagining a fundraiser to sell signs to others who weren’t comfortable trick-or-treating.

Usually our club makes 50 blankets to take with us on our Los Angeles trip to donate. Our trip was cancelled and we were not able to finish the blankets in the spring so we took the finished blankets to ALL IN Monterey and club members have received the remaining fleece to make blankets at home. http://thisclubsaveslives.org/2020/09/11/blanket-making/
