PWB Donates Needed Items to Free Store

The BIA Professional Women in Building Council donated more than 3,000 items to the Free Store on Parsons Avenue. This annual Bra/Hygiene Drive is in support of the organization I Support the Girls every October. This is also a good reminder for busy ladies about breast cancer awareness and the importance of yearly screenings.

PWB kicks off every October with guest speaker and “honorary member” Kathy Jackson who teaches us the importance of home breast exams, then we move into the October drive for women in need. Kathy has been a huge inspiration to all of us and a key member in connecting us with the free store. None of this would be possible without her. The members of the BIA’s PWB worked at the Free Store on Parsons Avenue to distribute the items donated by our members on November 10. We also helped organize different rooms of the free store, in addition to also providing and passing out breakfast to those shopping.

Many thanks to 3 Pillar Homes for sponsoring lunch for our volunteers, as well as all of our members who donated their time and supplies!
