Mardi "Bra" 2017

Mardi “BRA” drive to take place February 10th-17th

The Undies Project Inc. will hold a town wide bra drive, called Mardi “Bra”, in Westport to collect donations of new and gently used bras.  The mission of The Undies Project is to provide new, unused underwear to men, women and children 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. No one should be deprived of the simple, daily necessity of clean underwear that many of us take for granted.

Hygiene and physical comfort are only a part of this basic human need.  New, clean underwear also provides dignity and self esteem.

The Undies Project is a register 501(c)(3) public charity that was started in 2015 by Laura Delaflor and Lucy Langley to fulfill this need.  They held an extremely successful inaugural Mardi “Bra” in Greenwich, CT in February 2016.  They surpassed their estimated 100 donations and received over 700 bras.  The donations were distributed to the clients of Neighbor to Neighbor, a local food and clothing distribution center in Greenwich, CT.

Through February 10th to 17th donations of new and gently used bras can be made at the following locations:  Aux Délices; Downunder; Kaia Yoga; Professional Physical Therapy; Rick Garcia Salon and Soleil Toile.

All donations from Mardi “Bra” 2017 will be distributed to Fairfield County organizations who help those in need.
