Our Cups Runneth Over

A colorful variety of donations

The slogan, Over Cups Runneth Over, was shared by Free the Girls along with their 2013 year in review. Among the highlights they shared was shipping 150,000 bras to Mozambique, Uganda, and El Salvador. After reaching out to my friends and neighbors (read more here), I'm happy to report that 54 more bras will be ready for shipment soon. While it's minimal in comparison to the mass quantities they ship in their program, every little bit counts. Thanks to everyone who donated to my bra drive!

If you would like to help out, here are some ideas shared by the organization:
  1. Share our Facebook page with your friends 
  2. Send us a gently used bra or two 
  3. Ask friends, family, or coworkers to donate bras 
  4. Host a bra drive or fundraiser in your community 
  5. Become a financial supporter
  6. Ask a local retailer to become a bra drop-off location
  7. Help connect us with corporations, foundations, churches and service organizations who believe in the cause and can help fund our growth 
  8. Host a Free The Girls information table at a local anti-trafficking event 
Update: I'm still collecting bras! Looks like a lot of my friends are spring cleaning and have many more to give. If you are interested in donating, let me know.
