I’ve recently been doing some deep cleaning and came across these camisoles, slips and lingerie. While these items are clean and in good shape, the local Goodwll does not accept them. I hate just throwing them away!
I came across your website and was happy to see there was a place I could donate them so someone else might be able to use and enjoy them. Thanks for providing this service.
Many of the women seeking support and refuge at Maryhouse come from a place of distress; often dealing with issues such as domestic violence, mental illness, evictions, and substance abuse.
While underwear is often more readily available, most of the women experiencing homelessness may only have one bra that they continue to wear for well over a year. Most of our bras are donations and women often have to select what is available and they are often ill fitting. A good bra fit can make a woman feel special and lovely. For these women, carrying such tremendous hardships, one good, clean, well fitted bra, can make them feel how we see them – as beautiful, resilient women. Our hope with your help, is that they are reminded that they too deserve the same respect and comfort we give to ourselves. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration to help us care for the thousands of women we serve at Maryhouse.
Thank you for the chance to recycle/pass along. I hope someone wears them and feels BEAUTIFUL!
Please accept this donation which is made in the memory of our mother who survived 40 years following her breast cancer surgery.
We are hopeful they can be used by someone else and give them the same opportunity to live with joy and vitality as did mom.
The passion and commitment of New Life Center is best demonstrated by its mission: ”Saving Lives, Building Futures…Empowering survivors escaping domestic violence.” New Life Center provides a temporary safe haven for families fleeing domestic violence. Our comprehensive 120-day program supports families in starting new lives, free from violence. Often times the families that come to New Life Center come with nothing, but the clothes on their backs. Having help from a charity like, “Donate Your Bra For A Cause” is meeting such a crucial need for our women and teenage girls at New Life Center!
We have been giving away free clothing to low-income women since 1981. We never have enough undergarments to cover the need, so are thrilled that you contacted us. Giving women clean clothing not only provides for their basic needs, but also lifts their spirits… both of which are part of our mission.
Saint John’s Program for Real Change operates the largest shelter in Sacramento County, and the only one focused exclusively on homeless women and children. Your donation will make a significant impact on the ladies here, We often have a need for undergarments and many don’t have the items or sizes they need. Having proper undergarments helps with confidence and we can’t thank you enough for your generosity.
The Downtown Women’s Center (DWC) is the only organization in Los Angeles focused exclusively on serving and empowering women experiencing homelessness and formerly homeless women. DWC serves up to 200 women daily in our drop in Day Center. They are also able to access emergency and everyday clothing at DWC so undergarments such as bras are a critical item and a crucial need for the women we serve. Donate Your Bra For A Cause plays a key role in ensuring the women at The Downtown Women’s Center get their essential needs met.
