When we heard bras were among the most needed yet least donated items of clothing for women, we knew we had to do something to help. That’s why two years ago we created the Giving is Beautiful™ Soma Bra Donation, our charity initiative to support women in need. Since then, we’ve held four bra donation events. Our grand total now exceeds 265,000!
We never could have reached that incredible number without our loyal and caring Soma customers—but we’d love to see that number grow even more! From July 9th to August 12th, Soma boutiques nationwide will be collecting new and gently worn bras to be given to local shelters affiliated with the National Network to End Domestic Violence, which represents more than 2,000 shelters in the United States. Each year, more than 4 million women stay in domestic violence shelters, many who arrive with only the clothes on their backs. While donating might seem like a small thing, it makes a big difference to women choosing between buying a bra and putting food on the table. Here are three ways you can help:
1. Give Bras. Clean out your top drawer and bring new or gently worn bras to any Soma boutique.
2. Mail Bras. If you don’t yet have a Soma boutique near you, you can mail bras to:
Soma Bra Donation c/o The Bra Recyclers
3317 S. Higley Rd, Ste 114-441
Gilbert, AZ 85297
3. Donate Online. Support victims of domestic violence when you visit soma.com and make a monetary contribution to NNEDV.

Hello,
I’m interested in donating gentle-used bras, do they have to be only Soma brand or can they be any other brand as well.
thank you!
Patricia

I didn’t send my bras out yet….was going to do it today…is it too late?
I missed the bra donation drive dates. Do do this drive every year?
Hi! I am a member of the junior league of Louisville and we are looking for ways to help our community. We would love to collect bras (new and gently used) at one of our general meetings in the late winter or early spring. Do you all take donations at any time or only during a specific time period. If donations are taken only during a certain time, do you know when the next collection will be? Thank you so much in advance for your response.:)
Thank you so much for your interest in the Soma Bra Donation. We love it when groups of women come together to support other women! Our next bra donation will be in January 2013, however, our boutiques will accept bras anytime and distribute them to local women in need. We are currently sponsoring the Redbook and Soma “What Freedom Feels Like” campaign, which celebrates women who have taken the steps to leave an abusive relationship. Keep up with all our “Giving is Beautiful” initiatives at soma.com/givebras. Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Intimately, Soma
