Support the Girls event held at Creekwood

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) —  Celebration of the Girls, an event that took place this weekend for women to receive some essential items that can be pricey.

With over seven hundred bras and hygiene products donated, Creekwood residents were able to come by and get bras that are properly fitted for free.

This was the first time Support the Girls organization partnered with the Creekwood Resident Organization and they both were excited to help out so many woman.

“I feel great knowing that I can help in this small way, it’s a tangible way and everybody deserves dignity every woman and girl should have that,” Support the Girls director Elisabeth Swain said.

This was a positive celebration for the women and girls in the Creekwood community and both of the organizers hope to do this event again each year.
