The Consiglio Wealth Management Group of Wells Fargo Advisors participated in the National Wear Red Day on Friday, February 2nd, 2024 to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and save lives!

Wear Red Day is a national public awareness campaign the first Friday in February urging women, people from all walks of life, businesses, towns, schools, the media, buildings, and landmarks to “go red” to bring attention to the risk of heart disease and stroke.  National Wear Red Day and Go Red for Women are why more than 900,000 women have joined the fight.

Schenectady, NY ~ Central Park

May 18, 2023

On May 18th, hundreds of individuals throughout the Capital Region participate in community service projects benefitting nonprofit health and human service agencies. Katrina Consiglio and Kristen Mahan volunteered through Women United in Schenectady NY’s Central Park for Capital Region Menstrual Health to paint two new Period Pantries. As an initiative of Cornell Cooperative Extension, Capital Region Menstrual Health (previously SMHC) works to promote the health and well-being of individuals who menstruate in our area. CRMH works to increase period equity by bringing period products directly into under-resourced communities through a network of established and trusted community-based organizations.

The term “period poverty” refers to the lack of access to menstrual products, sanitation facilities, and menstrual education due to financial barriers and/or social stigma. We work to combat this through the installation of Free Period Pantries in areas of high need and through direct distributions of menstrual products to local community organizations serving our under-resourced menstruators.

A Free Period Pantry is an outdoor, weather-proofed box that houses a variety of menstrual products that are free to the community. These pantries are self-serve and accessible 24/7, making them a convenient source of period products in locations familiar to our target populations. There are currently three Free Period Pantries running in Schenectady, and one in Albany. All pantries are strategically located in areas of high need based on census data and input from community members.
