Ariyanna Ghala, Ramsey Warner and Isabel Buescher, all 14, have been stocking the Vienna, Va., pantry with donations and hope the community support continues.
When Ariyanna Ghala, 14, was shopping with her mom, she noticed how expensive a box of pads were and thought there must be something she could do to help people who couldn’t afford them.
In September, they launched their free period pantry outside a church in Vienna, filling the two-foot wide, one-foot deep and 2.5-foot tall wooden container they constructed with donated pads and tampons.“We are girls and we can totally understand. That’s honestly awful that people wouldn’t have [period products],” Ghala said. “These are so important, so vital.”
