I Support the Girls - Bring Your Extra Bras and Period Products!


Homeless women need bras and menstrual hygiene products. Help ‘support the girls’, by donating I Support the Girls Donation Boxnew or used bras/sports bras and sealed packages of maxi pads and tampons.

I Support the Girls (ISTG) collects and distributes essential items, including bras and menstrual hygiene products, allowing people experiencing homelessness, impoverishment, or distress to stand tall with dignity. People rarely donate bras and menstrual hygiene products. Can you look in your drawers for any used bras that you no longer wear? Any sealed packages of tampons and maxi pads would be amazing as well.

A donation box will be available on-site for your contributions.
