‘I Support the Girls’ makes generous donation to The Shelter

The Shelter is grateful to the local chapter of “I Support the Girls” for the recent donation of over 1,300 items including bras, underwear and feminine hygiene products.

I Support the Girls collects and distributes donations of undergarments and supplies to homeless women and girls across North America.

“Women and girls who find themselves homeless shouldn’t have to worry about finding bras, much less proper menstrual products,” says group representative Dana Marlowe, “Yet they wear the same bra for years (causing health problems) and each month have to make a choice between paying for meals or buying a box of tampons. Our mission is to restore dignity and self-respect to thousands of women.”

In the last 20 months, 200,000 bras and 900,000 feminine hygiene products have been collected and distributed worldwide. For more information on I Support the Girls, go to: http://isupportthegirls.org/
