The Ormond Beach Lei-dies Group for 50+ has chosen the Oopsie Project from the Good for Girls Initiative as its recent community project. 

The Oopsie Project collects small, opaque cosmetic bags and fills them with donated individually-wrapped pads, panty liners and unscented, sensitive skin feminine hygiene wipes. These bags are delivered to each Volusia County school.

Carolyn Denny with the Good for Girls Initiative provided details about the Oopsie Project, and Lei-dies members donated hundreds of items at the July “Stuff-It” party to create more bags for girls to be delivered to area schools in time for the next school year.

The Ormond Beach Lei-dies Group members also made a donation of $141 to be used for future supplies.

The Good for Girls Initiative is dedicated to providing positive resources for women and youth. As of 2023, it has stuffed 20,000 bags and delivered to every public school in Volusia, Flagler and Lake counties. Visit www.goodforgirlsinitiative.org.
