'The Undies Project' to Hold Bra Drive in Greenwich

*Editor’s note: This story first published on Jan. 19. Here it is again, in case you missed it.

A new Neighbor to Neighbor initiative, “The Undies Project,” will hold its inaugural Greenwich-wide community bra drive called “Mardi Bra.”

The drive will collect donations of new and gently used bras to help meet the mission of The Undies Project of providing new, unused underwear to Greenwich-area residents in need to improve their lives.

Underwear is the most under-donated, and most needed, item of clothing that many of us take for granted.

From Feb. 2 to Feb. 9, donations of new and gently used bras can be made at the following locations: Aux Delices in Greenwich and Riverside, the Eastern Greenwich Civic Center, the Western Greenwich Civic Center, several Greenwich Fire Stations (Central Greenwich, Cos Cob, Byram, Glenville, Sound Beach, and North Street), Splurge, Threads & Treads, Upper Crust Bagel Company, the YMCA and the YWCA.

Donations also may be dropped off during regular donation hours at Neighbor to Neighbor.

All donations received will be distributed through Neighbor to Neighbor, the Greenwich-based, volunteer-driven nonprofit organization that provides food, clothing and basic living essentials to hundreds of Greenwich families each month.
