What Happens to the Items?
I Support the Girls is a registered nonprofit which collects donations of new/used bras and new sealed packages of tampons and maxi pads and distributes them to girls and women experiencing homelessness.
For the 216,000 girls and women experiencing homelessness across the U.S., bras and menstrual hygiene products are considered a luxury. Some women on the streets wear the same bra for eight years. This means more than occasional back pain from the lack of support her stretched-out underwire offers. It also means the potential for infection from the material continuously rubbing against her skin, not to mention the daily embarrassment of a sagging, ill-fitting bra.
Every day thousands of girls and women have to choose between a meal or buying maxi pads. Society strips away any last remaining shreds of dignity when we force women to clean their periods each month with unwashed rags, or a wad of rolled up toilet paper- really, whatever is around that’s free and available.
I Support the Girls’ mission is to allow these girls and women to maintain their dignity and self-respect.
