The Tec-We-Gwill Women’s Institute has launched their Bra Bins initiative through October, which is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The women are receiving donations of bras at different locations, which will be donated to CONTACT Community Services in Alliston.
The bras will be weighed, and a donation will also be given to women’s wellness programs at Stevenson Memorial Hospital and Southlake Regional Health Centre, based on the weight of donated items.
Bra bins will be at the Tottenham Community Centre in Tottenham, the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre in Alliston, and at the Bradford West Gwillimbury Leisure Centre in Bradford West Gwillimbury. They are looking for donations of new or gently used bras and asking donors to place them in a plastic bag to keep them clean.
Tec-We-Gwill Women’s Institue members, Lynne Kunica, Nanci Forfellow, Donna Jebb, Diana Dundas, Sally Sainsbury, and Ingrid Grant Elliott launched the initiative with the first batch of bras that were donated.
