Online Clothing Store Raising Awareness For Missing Girls


Bursts of outrage and confusion has been all over social media in the recent weeks due to 34 girls of color, age ranging from 11-17, being reported missing with the month of march in Washington, D.C. with little to no news media coverage. With the somewhat lack of the news media, more people are taking it into their own hands to voice their concern for this tragedy, including an online clothing outlet that's continuously gains popularity through its social consciousness.

Served Fresh Collection is an independent clothing store that has been described as the brand with a purpose. Their clothing line are mostly based off social and pop-culture, but at times like these they show they have a heart.

Served Fresh Collection has designed a garment in the effort to raise awareness to the mysterious disappearance of the several teenage girls. This garment is a pink shirt with a drawing of a milk carton that reads "FIND OUR GIRLS" on front of the carton and "Missing 34 teenage girls ages 11-17 from Washington D.C." on the side of the carton. The artwork of this shirt is also available in the form of a sticker.

Served Fresh Collection stated that profits from the sale of this two items will donated to a legitimate effort to help return the missing girls. The items have been available for sale as of last week and so far in their effort they raised $2,239 and has helped raised awareness for these missing girls.

This is not the first time Served Fresh Collection used their market to raise awareness on a social issue. Back in July 2016 Served Fresh Collection designed a couple of garment to raise awareness on police brutality due to the growing number police shootings on minorities, mostly of the African American race. This included a black shirt and hat that read "Resist Or Comply, You Still Die."
