Bra Donation Drive - Beth El Sisterhood is collecting NEW OR CLEAN GENTLY USED bras to send to Free the Girls, an international 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing survivors of sex trafficking with a path to true freedom. Why collect bras? In some developing nations, bras are a highly sought after item in the local marketplaces and command top dollar. By providing bras to these survivors to sell, YOU are giving them a path to economic freedom and the ability to provide for themselves and their children.
Drop your donations off at Beth El by October 29th. Contact Joyce Goldklang at gemofamom1@aol.com with questions or check out their website at www.FreeTheGirls.org.
