The Westmont Lions Club is proud to support the launch of the EmpowerHER Collective, a community initiative coordinated by Lion Krystal in partnership with local schools, community organizations, local provider offices, and the Westmont Public Library. The initiative is focused on increasing access to essential hygiene products, education, and empowerment for girls and women in our community.
Donations including pads, tampons, and other hygiene products were delivered to Westmont High School to help support students in need. The initiative is already bringing together incredible community partnerships to help create educational opportunities, support services, and open conversations that break stigma and promote dignity.
Looking ahead, we are excited to continue expanding this effort throughout Westmont and DuPage County through community drives, outreach events, education, and collaboration with local organizations and student leadership groups. We will also be working alongside the Lions Club Leo Program to help engage local students in meaningful service opportunities that build leadership, confidence, and community involvement.
Be on the lookout for upcoming drives, community events, and outreach happening throughout the summer, along with our Women and Girls Day event planned for October. This event will be open to everyone, as education, awareness, and support take all of us working together.
Creating cycles of support for girls and women, one act of care at a time.
