HelpAGirlOutUSA.com<\/a> serves as the official digital home for Help A Girl Out and represents a major step forward in sustainability and operational capacity. The website was designed by EB Designs and led by Liz Hafer, Chief Marketing Officer of HAGO and Owner of EB Designs.<\/p>\nFive years ago, HAGO existed only as an idea when Cody was invited to present to Berks Women in Motion (BWIM). At that time, she openly asked the women in the room \u2014 and the universe \u2014 for a sustainable way to address period poverty. That moment sparked a chain of relationships and collaborations that helped turn an idea into action.<\/p>\n
Through Berks Women in Motion, Cody connected with Hafer, whose leadership at BWIM later became foundational to HAGO\u2019s growth. Additional introductions at the presentation \u2014 including Stacy Perlaki, which led to Ali Pakradooni, and Jen Barkman \u2014 reinforced an expanding, behind-the-scenes network of women and allies committed to solving a problem society had long overlooked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has always been a movement built through trust and connection,\u201d said Cody. \u201cWomen showing up for one another, making introductions, sharing expertise, and building something that didn\u2019t exist because it needed to.\u201d<\/p>\n
A website designed to move faster and reach further<\/p>\n
More than a marketing tool, the new website allows HAGO to take requests, organize volunteers and partners, share timely information, and coordinate product distribution more efficiently. As distribution days grow larger and more complex, the platform ensures that products and information can move quickly to where they are needed most.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith a professional web design in place, we can operate smarter,\u201d said Hafer. \u201cThe site helps us organize, communicate, and respond faster \u2014 so when distribution day comes, we\u2019re ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
