Project Marilyn

Yesterday Nevada NOW and the Loud Girls Club had the honor of volunteering with Project Marilyn, a local Las Vegas nonprofit that believes everyone deserves a dignified period. We helped assemble period bags, each of which contains enough supplies to carry an individual through an entire cycle. Project Marilyn will donate these bags to Las Vegas residents in need.

If you would like to support the organization, please consider volunteering yourself or donating either hygiene products or monetary assistance. Thank you to Project Marilyn for having us — we look forward to volunteering again!

Learn more about Project Marilyn and how you can help at their website.
