February 25, 2020Mardi Bras!
Mardi Bras is a collaborative fundraiser between Hope House, a program of Volunteers of America, and Transitions' Women's Hearth.
Meeting the basic needs of the women and children we serve can be the start of a life-changing relationship. One of the most basic needs is a little embarrassing, undergarments. Getting access to bras and underwear that fit can be a challenge for women experiencing poverty or homelessness. Women living on the streets get their periods too. However, not only do they go through this uncomfortable experience they struggle just to meet their basic needs. Finding pads and tampons can be almost as impossible as finding bras and underwear.
But all of that changes Fat Tuesday, February 25, 2020 as we celebrate Mardi Bras!
