Giving Back

 

Play, With A PURPOSE;

My Girlfriend’s House strongly believes in celebrating being a woman. We like to have fun, build relationships and escape some of the stresses of our everyday life. But we are also dedicated to giving back to our community. Each of our professional members have faced obstacles to reach their current position, so we understand the importance of having someone to turn to for help and advice. Whether it was lack of funds, lack of a positive support system, or lack of opportunities in our neighborhood, we know that there are many hurdles that can get in the way of someone’s success.

We work hard to make sure the young girls in the DMV area have less to worry about. Through our continued charity and mentorship efforts, MGH is dedicated to helping young women prepare for a bright and successful future.



You can help in our efforts to give back through the following initiatives:

   

  • Purse String For My Girlfriends: Nothing comes between a girl and her purse. Through the Purse String Efforts we donate handbags to young girls and stuff them with all the necessities they need. From feminine products, to dental care, to hair care, we supply and replenish the handbags for the girls to keep them happy and give them something to call their own.

  • Sassy Seniors Scholarship: Beauty and brains, the perfect combination! MGH celebrates the academic achievements of high school seniors who exhibit exceptional scholastic performance. Through our Sassy Seniors Scholarship program, students will have the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to a college or university of their choice.

  • "Smart Divas" School Supplies Drive and "Little Intimates" Clothes Drive: Each year MGH hosts two charity drives for young girlfriends in the DMV area. We encourage individuals and members to donate materials and clothing that can directly benefit the girls when returning to school and getting dressed in the morning.

  • Model Mentors: Our charismatic actions, professional experiences, and leadership skills make MGH members the perfect role models for young girls. With the help of our sister organizations, we partner some of the girlfriends up with young mentees to help guide them down a path of success.


   

Now this isn’t too much to ask, is it? Look in your closet at all the neglected purses you own. How about the jeans you brought, only wore once, and disregarded as old? And Wal-Mart is almost everyone’s second home, so put those excellent sale prices to use and purchase some underclothes for a young girl that is forced to wear the same thing due to lack of funds.

What seems small and insignificant to you will mean the world to someone else.
