School Dressing Days
Members and attendees at our February and March 2025 programs collected feminine hygiene products for female students in grades 5 through 12 to be distributed during School Dressing Days in July 2025.
AAUW FXBG gives a heartfelt thanks to all those who contributed to School Dressing Days. THANK YOU!
-
- 250 bags ready for delivery June 24, 2025! 112 bags have 13 pads each and the other 138 bags have 10 pads each. Additional bags were made on-site, for a total of nearly 275!
On July 25 and 26, 2025, members volunteered to assist families in selecting school supplies, new and gently used clothes and shoes, and toiletries to start the school year off right! Hundreds of children (1230 students to be precise!) in grades K through 12 came with parents and grandparents for this important event. Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts this year. We plan to return!

- The feminine hygiene products collected by our branch are in the colorful gift bags on the table (at center). The packages in the background at right were full of additional gift bags!
-
- This may look a bit chaotic…but the kids were so happy to “shop” for shoes! Every pair was different. And every pair found a good home.
-
- Every student received a new back pack, school supplies, a coat and hat, a pair of new jeans or joggers, underwear and socks!
