Last days to donate preloved bras to Project Uplift - we are a collection point
Ladies - donating pre-loved bras is a way to help women in the Pacific and in Aotearoa in need. Please see the article list below.
The church is collecting for Project Uplift on behalf of the Capital and Coast and Hutt DHBs, until 31 August. Drop off to Island Bay Presbyterian Church, 88 The Parade, marked DHB collection.
Please consider donating the following items:
Bras - Any cup size – the bigger the better! In any condition
Sports bras and crop tops
Nursing bras and reusable breast pads
Mastectomy bras and breast forms (prostheses) – If possible please send the box with the breast form/prosthesis, and put the relevant bras under the plastic mould, in the bottom of the box. These will be given to hospitals for distribution. If sending bras only, without breast forms/prostheses, please include a note so we don't miss-sort them.
Swimwear – Any size – a lot of women fish or dive for their livelihoods.
NEW underpants – In some places a girl without underpants does not go to school during her period.
Fabric nappies – Second hand or new.
Bras are important for comfort and practicality, but also for health reasons. It is difficult to access bras in some of the pacific islands and many cannot afford to buy them. This causes complications with infection, personal dignity and discretion.
