Dallas, Texas - Allie + Bess, a distinguished Dallas-based jewelry brand, is spearheading an initiative to aid underprivileged children as they prepare to enter the new school year in the North Texas region.

This women-led firm has engineered a comprehensive school supply drive, specifically crafted to assist Genesis Women’s Shelter and Support.

The team at Allie + Bess has effectively gathered a considerable number of backpacks and essential school supplies, targeted to benefit the children of women who find solace at the Genesis Women's Shelter. This sanctuary provides an invaluable service to families seeking escape from the distressing effects of domestic violence, whilst focusing on fostering an environment conducive to their recovery and eventual self-reliance.
