Edwardsville

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!

"It’s harder and harder these days to get the number of volunteers needed—but you made time in your busy schedule to help out and that means even more! You have played such an important part with the Project Homeless Connect Event and your support won’t be forgotten. You are greatly appreciated."

"We are just in awe! Our staff is amazed by what you donated to us. They are SO EXCITED and grateful!... Thank you again for your time, energy, and generosity in support of Places for People! Have a great Friday and weekend!"
