“Help A Girl Out” February Drive Benefiting Women and Girls

Muhlenberg Greene Architects and Be Mine Boutique Organize Feminine Products and Diaper drive for the female residents of The Children’s Home of Reading and Opportunity House.

Muhlenberg Greene Architects is pleased to announce a month-long collaboration with Be Mine Boutique benefiting the women and girls of two local Berks County charities.

According to research by Pandia Health, the average woman will have 456 periods of a span of 38 years. While prices can range, assuming the use of three to five pads a day over a five-day period, females will spend around $4,752 in their lifetime just on pads.

During the month of February, the Wyomissing-based architectural firm and drive cosponsor, Be Mine Boutique, of West Reading, will collect much-needed feminine products and diapers for the residents of the Children’s Home of Reading and Opportunity House.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
