Board Nomination: Rebecca Coyle, Secretary

The Board Nominates Rebecca Coyle as Zharity Secretary. The vote will be held at our  

General Assembly on January 22.

How did you get involved with Zharity?

I heard about Zharity through some advertising via social media for clothing/gently used items collections.  I had a few items to donate and was intrigued. From there, I attended an Information Coffee and then an Ukraine Essential Needs Kit Making session. I really enjoyed all my interactions with the other Zharity members and really connected with Zharity's mission.

What projects are you currently working on?

I am currently the Project Lead for the Zharity Pad Project. Our goal is to make 500 re-usable feminine hygiene pads that will be donated to an organisation that takes them to Cameroon for women/girls in need, while also providing menstruation education. Our project has included finding the materials, preparing them (cutting them with templates, etc.) and then having them sewn by Zharity members.  Additionally, I've been helping out with various other activities such as Corporate Clean Ups, Corporate Kit Making events, etc. I'm also involved in helping to provide a valuation for the many gently used items that Zharity re-distributes to our partner agencies.

What additional information would you like to share?

I’m a fairly new Zharity member, but have truly enjoyed getting to know the organization and the other members. I really feel the Zharity slogan of "Do Good, Have Fun, Connect '' truly hits home for me.a
