Let’s admit it, we all have our drawers overflowing with bras that we don’t wear anymore. Some don’t fit us; some are not comfortable; some we bought on sale and some are out of fashion. We also think that we can’t donate our bra, as it is one of those things that we feel are not suitable to be passed on. We even throw bras during our annual clean up contributing to landfill and causing pollution.

What we don’t know is that a bra is one of the most needed items in a women’s shelter but it’s not a commonly donated item. Women shelters often receive shirts, pants, dress and even socks but very rarely undergarments. Victims of human trafficking and survivors of domestic violence often hastily move into women shelters to find safe heaven but rarely think of packing this simple but essential piece of garment.

Lets join Soma, a lingerie company partnered with National Network to End Violence and I Support Girls in collecting lightly used bras for these women in need.

How can we help?

All that you need to do is collect those lightly used bras from your closet’s nook, take it to your local Soma boutiques and place them in donation bin. Visit one of the Soma boutiques near your location before Feb, 27th and donate them to help the women in need.
