DONATE
Looking for a place to donate your gently loved bras? Forty Winks accepts all styles and sizes for donation to the following organizations. And for every bra you bring us, they donate $1 to the organization they’re supporting that month. Cleaning out your top drawer never felt so good.
The Bra Recyclers, LLC, is a for-profit clothing recycling company, founded by Elaine Birks-Mitchell and Johnny Mitchell, Jr. Their goal is to ignite a ‘Bra-volution’ to recycle, reuse or repurpose bras while
providing substantial social benefits to women and girls escaping domestic violence, drug addiction, human trafficking, and breast cancer survivors.
Free the Girls is a company that supplies former sex workers in Mozambique with gently used, resellable bras so that they can start their own shops and makes their own money. Secondhand clothing is a profitable market in many countries around the world and bras are sought after items. Free to Girls also provides one on one coaching with each budding entrepreneur in areas like inventory management, budgeting, and financial planning for future dreams and goals they want to achieve. Your donation helps women establish profitable second-hand clothing businesses while still going to school and caring for their families.

Oona’s Experienced Clothing (Vintage + Modern)
Secondhand boutique selling vintage apparel for men & women plus funky accessories, jewelry & shoes
Oona’s is curated vintage clothing boutique in Harvard Square specializing in timeless vintage glamorous fashions from the 1930s to the 1980s but they also carry modern clothing lines.
Oona’s was originally founded in 1972 by Kathleen White and her best friend Deborah O’Donnell when Kathleen was pregnant with her daughter Oona—the store’s namesake. Oona’s has been a woman-owned business for three generations.
“Circa 2010, Oona's was a small shop packed to the gills with clothing that ran the gamut, in terms of quality, and the experience bordered on overwhelming. Since then, the owner's given Oona a complete makeover: it's spacious, beautifully decorated, and features a much more carefully curated selection of clothing, from vintage to modern.” The prices are beyond reasonable” - Source: littleheapvintage.com
Recently revamped, the store now feels like an immersion experience in another time – both familiar and strange and full of forgotten treasures ready to be given new life. Oona’s promotes a playful approach to fashion and history, seeking out fun and unexpected ways of remixing the past. They are always eager to help customers collage together a look or find the perfect fit. – Harvard Square Business Association Source

NoBu.gs® Repellent Clothing and Gear was created with comfort in mind! Their clothing is designed with functional fabrics and unique elements that come from ideas directly from their customers.
NoBu.gs® treated with Insect Shield® is registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for repellency against mosquitos, ticks, ants, fleas, flies, chiggers, and midges (no-see-ums). Some of these insects are so small they cannot be seen by the naked eye, but NoBu.gs® has you covered.
The repellent treatment is so effective it is a trusted solution by military outfits around the globe including the United States Military. The clothing is registered with the EPA for up to 70 launderings but is expected to last the lifetime of the product.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) list insect repellent clothing, such as NoBu.gs®, as one of the best ways to avoid contraction of insect-borne diseases such as Dengue, Zika, Malaria, and Lyme.
In 2017 NoBu.gs® started the NGO NoBit.es™. Our organization works with many community leaders to match us with families that need our products the most! Visit us at www.nobit.es to see how we’ve been helping. Stop Scratching, Start Smiling! – NoBu.gs source
