BOObie Bra Drive
Because access to basic needs shouldn't be this scary
The Sudbury Women’s Centre is once again championing the needs of women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals through our annual BOObie Bra Drive this October. Recognizing that “access to basic needs shouldn’t be this scary”, we will be collecting new bras, underwear, socks, and essential hygiene items to support individuals facing violence and challenging life situations.
