Follow on Google News | The Bra Recyclers and Local Lake County Organization Partner to Support Homeless WomenProject Hope for the Homeless will be providing women with recycled bras.. The Bra Recyclers is a textile recycling company based in Arizona that provides women in need nationwide with the gift of a clean and properly fitted bra.
By: Elaine Birks-Mitchell Project Hope for the Homeless serves an estimated 30 adults and children each month, providing emergency services to Lake County’s homeless population. “As an emergency homeless shelter, we often have guests enter the shelter with nothing. By being able to provide the women entering the shelter with a bra that will more than likely be in better condition than the one they enter with, we [are] able to help them restore some dignity and improve their self esteem”, Denise Jones, staff member at Project Home for the Homeless stated via email. The Bra Recyclers mission is to encourage, inspire and “support” women and girls in need with a clean bra, while also reducing the number of textiles entering the waste stream. “A clean and properly fitted bra to wear is often furthest from the mind of homeless women and girls. Other priorities, such as food, shelter, and safety, are at the top of the list. The Bra Recyclers provide a simple encouragement to lift a homeless woman’s spirit, boost her self esteem, and ultimately help re-shape her life. Not only are we able to provide this important gift at the time of need, but bra recycling also helps delay the number of textiles entering the waste stream,” Birks-Mitchell said.
