PERIODS DON’T STOP IN A PANDEMIC.
Due to the pandemic, BRAWS is being called on to serve our community- now more than ever-read more HERE!
As the situation evolves, we are making plans to continue providing essential services to those we serve, whose need is even more urgent right now. The safety of our clients, our staff, and our volunteers- remains paramount. Therefore, we are making adjustments as needed in order to ensure the utmost safety of all involved, in order to prevent direct person-to-person contact, we have made the decision to temporarily suspend our on-site shelter distribution program. Volunteers will not be permitted to enter partner facilities until further notice.
We plan to continue collecting and distributing donations of pads, tampons, bras and underwear. We will work with local school districts, shelters, food pantries and community partner organizations to provide drop-off services for our families in need.
If you have items that you would like to donate (and those donations are much needed at this time!), we encourage you to drop them by our office @ 133 Park Street NE, Suite 3B, Vienna Va 22180 or purchase via BRAWS Amazon Link.
All donations, inbound and outbound, will undergo a thorough cleaning process, we encourage our volunteers and staff to stay home if they are not feeling well, especially high risk populations as determined by the CDC. We will continue to closely monitor the situation as it evolves, and provide updates via social media (if you don't already follow us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, please do!).
In the meantime, please support families in our community who need your help by donating products, contributing financially and volunteering. Periods don't stop in a pandemic. We need to ensure that all those in our community continue to have access to basic needs, such as menstrual supplies and undergarments, even in this time of uncertainty and crisis.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Respectfully,
Holly Seibold
