South Carolina Partnership Specialist for the United States Census Bureau Vermelle Simmons will discuss the 2020 Census. Topics include the impact the Census has on communities, and how it will be completed. “My purpose for holding these monthly meetings is to share information about County-related issues and to listen to citizens’ concerns,” Johnson said. “Each month, different speakers are invited to address topics of interest as expressed by the public.” Citizens do not need to register in advance for the round table meetings. For more information or to provide ideas for upcoming topics, contact Charleston County Councilwoman Anna B. Johnson: · By email at: ajohnson@charlestoncounty.org · By phone at: (843) 958-4034 · By mail at: Post Office Box 13975; James Island, SC 29422 The Homeless Period project is a non-profit organization that distributes menstrual supplies to women and girls in need. On Wednesday, people were invited to donate boxes of things like tampons, pads, liners, and individually-wrapped hygiene wipes. “When women and girls don’t have access to these products, they’re forced to either use things to makeshift these products or they stay out of sports, they miss schools,” said Sharron Champion, the co-founder of the Homeless Period Project. “Think of all the more women and girls we could help if we’re not having to pay taxes on these products.”
