Zonta thanks Beaufort after breaking collection record
With the community’s generosity and support, Zonta of Beaufort broke its 2021 collection record in a big way by donating more than 1,200 bras to its “Free the Girls” campaign in 2022.
Zonta member, India Dickinson, collected more than 400 bras alone. These bras are sent to Mozambique, El Salvador and Costa Rica to enable women rescued from human trafficking establish themselves back into their communities by selling the bras in the local markets to make a safe and sustainable income.
Zonta would like to offer a special thank you to Tanger Outlets who graciously ship the bras collected for this worthwhile project from participating Zonta Clubs around the country. For more information, visit freethegirls.org. Thank you, Beaufort.
