Edwardsville

About


I Support the Girls Edwardsville was started in 2016. We also partner with I Support the Girls- SIUe that was established in 2019. We frequently host “The Bra Room” where we provide a “shopping spree” for folx in need in the Greater STL Area (both sides of the river!). Shoppers are treated to free new and gently-loved bras, new underwear, Period Packs, and additional personal care items. We have helped a variety of organizations from domestic violence support, foster care nonprofits, schools, pantries, kids’ free lunch and summer programs, and much more.

Local Impact

Previous
We want to give a BIG thanks to the Edwardsville, Illinois, chapter of the I Support the Girls - Edwardsville, IL organization, which collects gently-used bras, new underwear and feminine hygiene products for those in need. Just this year, I Support the Girls has donated over 100 bras to our U.S. Safe program, providing safe haven to American female survivors of trafficking. The group recently partnered with Beloved Bundles to hold a service project event at the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville campus, putting together emergency care packs for victims we work with who are in crisis. One of our own victims advocates, Katrina Smith, participated in the event!
