Saturday, June 27, 2026 was a busy day for SHL volunteers, and we couldn’t be prouder of the way our members showed up for the community.
While one team was representing SHL at the Feminist Magic Pride Market, another group joined other community volunteers at the Lowcountry Period Pixies Packing Party at the Bees Ferry Library. Together, volunteers spent the afternoon assembling hundreds of period packs that will be distributed throughout the Charleston area to people experiencing period poverty.
It’s always great to see SHL members supporting our community partners, and it’s especially exciting when we have enough volunteers to make a meaningful impact at two worthwhile events at the same time. Whether doing community outreach at the Magic Market or helping assemble period packs with the Pixies, our volunteers demonstrated the humanist values of compassion, service, and community that define SHL.
The work of the Lowcountry Period Pixies continues long after the packing party ends. They always need donations of individually wrapped pads, tampons, liners, and hygiene wipes to keep these essential supplies flowing to people in need. One of the easiest ways to help is by ordering directly from their Amazon Wish List, where items ship straight to the organization and are ready for the next packing event.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped make a difference in our community. Together, we proved that Humanists show up. And it is also a lot of fun!
