Sister, can you spare a bra?

Got a receipt for some donated bras today that I sent to an organization called Support 1000 -- they collect new and like new bras and donate them to women's shelters, women getting out of prison who only have a "prison bra" and other organizations. Bras are the only thing they collect.

It made it so easy to go through my bra drawer, knowing that the bras would be used and appreciated. The slogan for this organization is "providing the dignity associated with a quality, well-fitting bra."

Considering the cost of a new bra (which still gives me sticker shock), you can imagine how out of reach a new bra might be for some women.

You can read more about the organization, including where to send your bras, at http://www.support1000.org/
