Recycled Bras This Holiday Season

The Bra Recyclers just sent recycled bras to women that served at The Healing Place of Wake County. These bras help out on the setback of the number of textile waste towards the inside of the waste stream, at the same time as providing support to the women in need.

The Bra Recyclers is a textile recycling corporation based in Gilbert, Arizona. They were able to launch this partnership in October during the annual Bra Recycling Month event of the company.

The Healing Place provides recuperation and healing services to destitute, alcoholic and chemically reliant men. Just about 75 homeless women are housed at The Healing Place each night. Terri Conyers, The Healing Place staff member, touched on the call for recycled bras to assist in serving women at their facility. She said that many of these women get there with the clothes on their backs. Recycled bras will offer basic human entitlement to these women and also offer hope that somebody in reality cares and they may carry on with their recuperation process. They have every shape and size of a woman but they would appreciate more of the big sizes of recycled bras.

The Bra Recyclers aspire to offer women and girls in need. With the bra they are able to let the women feel encouraged, beautiful, and confident throughout their most distressed hours. Birks-Mitchell stated that having a clean and properly fitted bra to wear is more often than not at the top of the list for women and girls in need due to other priorities, like food, shelter, and safety. He said they want to do their part by providing a straightforward encouragement that will boost a woman’s spirit, improve her self esteem, and ultimately help re-shape a life. He also adds that aside from helping out these women, bra recycling also helps delay the number of textiles entering the waste stream.
