Especially for larger women who really need good support bras. Those are very expensive. Also women who need nursing bras, or mastectomy bras, which are even more expensive. It seems like this would be a good project for brands that manufacture underwear, or stores that get rid of their discontinued and overstocked merchandise. They could donate those products to groups assisting poor women and get a tax write off and some good publicity for their charity outreach.
