GOAL MET for Ziploc Bags

Thanks to the generous donations of the sisters in the stake, we have already met our goal on one item--Gallon sized Ziploc bags. We have 506 as of today, June 21st. Any extra we collect will be held in reserve in case we are able to make more kits with other items we collect OR it will be sent with any other additional supplies to PROJECT THRIVE for them to use as needed. Thanks everyone!

Underwear Update

Since kicking off the project, the requests have changed a little bit. They give the underwear out separate from the kits, so that they can choose the sizes that best fit the girls. AND, instead of pinning the pads into the underwear, they have developed a kind of shield. It looks similar to a Maxi pad with wings, but it's washable and snaps together underneath the underwear. Kind of hard to explain.

We will still send the pins we have and any underwear we collect, but we don't need to make gathering them a matter of our goal. Instead, we need to get the supplies for the shields which are:

--Medium weight drapery fabric (water resistant) for bottom layer.
--Flannel for top layer
--Sew on snaps

I'll have a pattern for each of the wards, in case anyone wants to start on some before August 22.
