In a recent Bra Drive, University Libraries achieved an outstanding milestone by collecting 51 pounds of essential bras and shelter supplies. These supplies will be donated to the Young Women's Christian Association of Palm Beach County, an organization working tirelessly to eliminate racism and empower women and girls to enhance their quality of life. This remarkable success is a testament to the faculty and staff's compassion and dedication to community causes.
The University Libraries team extends their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to this meaningful initiative. Our staff's commitment to giving back to the community is truly commendable. The success of this endeavor encourages continued participation in future Community Building projects and collaborations. Together, we can make an even greater impact and contribute to the betterment of the local community.
This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the exceptional efforts of Lynnette Connor and Reneta Johnson, who played a vital role in supporting this initiative. Their dedication and hard work have made a significant difference in the lives of those in need.
The YWCA of Palm Beach County, a leading organization in the region, collaborates with community partners and local and state officials to eliminate racism and empower women and girls in various aspects of their lives, including family relationships, social and health well-being, professional development, financial security, and influence in the community.
