High school events, such as Prom or Homecoming dances, are for many young girls one of the most exciting and anticipated evenings of the year.  For some girls, this night is unable to become a reality as a result of economic circumstances. The Bra Recyclers are excited to announce our newest partnership with Becca’s Closet. Becca’s Closet is a nonprofit organization in Florida that provides formal attire to high school students who otherwise would not be financially capable of attending their prom or homecoming events. In addition to providing formal attire, Becca’s Closet also provides scholarships to deserving high school students to aid them in their pursuit of higher education.

 

Becca’s Closet has local chapters located across the nation. What is unique about Becca’s Closet is that each chapter is lead by students themselves, supervised by adults, and affiliated with a school, community organization, church or temple.

 

As part of our partnership with Becca’s Closet, The Bra Recyclers will be launching a bra drive to raise strapless and halter style bras to provide to girls who are receiving dresses from Becca’s Closet this upcoming Prom season. Stay tuned to Facebook for more details on how you can help make a young girl’s dream of attending Prom this spring a reality.

Have you ever wondered what happens to the fruit that is on trees in your backyard or the backyards of your neighors? Well most of it just rots, which is such a shame because it can be used by deserving members of our community.

The Lemon Lady (www.thelemonlady.blogspot.com) has started a bitter sweet movement to create awareness in our communities about harvesting all of the fruit in our communities and sharing it with food banks and those in need. It is such a waste to let that fruit go bad. 

I was truly inspired by this story because there are so many ways that each of us can assist others in our communities, I am recycling bras and Anna Chan (The Lemon Lady) is recycling lemons. Please visit her blog to learn more about what she is doing:
