Most agencies receiving clothing donations usually discarded or recycled under garments for making paper. Since then a few people had recognized a need to the community that there is truly a need. Thousands of bras everyday are being discarded in trash why not donate them to someone that could use them. I have found a web site that meets my requirements. Check it out for yourself www.donateyourbra.com Until the last few years finding a place to donate your bras were none existant.

I saw you feature on AOL news and have a woman who needs your help. Mary is a 43 year old woman living in Palmdale,Ca. She is currently on a low income budget and watching 3 infants to make ends meet. She is awaiting a court hearing for Social Security disability for a stroke she suffered in early April. Mary has undergone GASTRIC BYPASS surgery and has lost close to 200 lbs and still losing. Mary's problem ,besides income, is she cant find bras. She is a 40DDD and cant afford new bras regularly and find slightly used ones in that size is almost impossible. I have sent her your link but I took it upon myself to write. I had a similar problem with shoes in 2008. I lost my home to a tornado in Savannah, TN. and couldn't find 14EEE shoes. I found some blogs and sites that help me locate shoes for work and leisure, and this is what i want to do for Mary. I will include a picture of Mary and her address. She hasn't a clue I'm doing this but I know she needs this help. If you need any other information you can reply to me and I can alert Mary that you are trying to contact her. She really needs this service. Thank You and keep up the good work.

This can help them to live life more comfortably with one less thing to hinder self confidence. You are truly doing the world of under-privileged women a favor with this type of offering. My blog Plus Figured at http://www.plusfigured.com is a forum for plus size women to discuss topics of interest such as fashion, self-acceptance, health/wellness info, dating/relationship info, etc. I’m interested to know if we can help you promote this donation effort. Knowing that women exist in a variety of sizes and shapes, maybe our Plus Figured community would help with donations for the cause. Thanks again for the unique generosity.

I suggest anti-flammable material be used for all bras sent from now on; that can be the first move made by the board of directors. (Board of directors for a bra organization? Sounds right up my alley...)
