About us
We are focused on (1) building community for non-religious people in the lowcountry, (2) practicing secular values through mutual aid and volunteer service, and (3) engaging in activism, particularly around defending the first amendment guarantee of separation of state and church. We are based in Charleston, South Carolina and are a chapter of the American Humanist Association.
Founded in 1994, our members are freethinkers of many kinds. We call ourselves agnostics, atheists, skeptics, secular humanists, rationalists and scientific naturalists. We are an all volunteer, member supported organization. We welcome you and all who are interested in participating in our friendly community. Our events are open to members and non-members alike.

🩸❤️ Period Pixies Packing Party ❤️🩸
Wando Mt. Pleasant Library, 1400 Carolina Park Blvd, Mt. Pleasant, SC, USVolunteer to assemble period packs with Lowcountry Period Pixies. SHL is supporting the Lowcountry Period Pixies packing party at the Wando Mt Pleasant Library on Saturday August 8th from 12:30 to 3:30 pm. Join us and if you are able, bring a donation of individually wrapped pads, tampons, liners or wipes.
Your Period Pixie hosts are Melissa Soule, Katie Preston and Devin Ginevan.
Why does this matter? 1 in 4 women and girls can't afford period products, which can't be purchased with SNAP or WIC benefits and are rarely donated to food banks. Many miss school or work because of it. These packs provide dignity — and prevent the health risks that come with using unsafe alternatives.
What will they be doing? Assembling period packs containing tampons, pads, liners, and wipes, which will be distributed to people in need across the tri-county area.
Can I bring something? Yes, please! The Pixies gratefully accept individually wrapped maxi pads, liners, and hygiene wipes. Bring some along if you wish — every item helps them assemble more packs.
Can't make it but want to help? 📦 Shop their Amazon Wish List — products ship directly to LPP. Items must be individually wrapped.All are welcome. Bring a friend!
