I Support the Girls Affiliate

Our  Mission: Through an international network of Affiliates, I Support the Girls collects and distributes essential items, including bras, underwear, and menstrual hygiene products, allowing women and folx experiencing homelessness, impoverishment, or distress to stand tall with dignity.

A woman shouldn’t have to choose between feeding herself and her personal health.  Every woman should have the ability to maintain her dignity. Around the globe we're helping girls and women experiencing homelessness, victims of domestic violence, victims of sex trafficking, refugees and evacuees affected by natural disasters.

The Council Bluffs/Omaha affiliate collects donations of new and gently used bras, new underwear and individually sealed tampons and maxi pads and distributes them to girls, women and folx in our area.

Bras are considered a luxury and wearing the same bra for years causes health problems. You shouldn’t have to choose between feeding herself and her personal health, you should have the ability to maintain your dignity.
