Mangawhai Lions are collecting new and gently used bras for Project Uplift, a charity that distributes bras to women in need across New Zealand and the Pacific. Locals can drop off bras of any size or style at the Hospice Shop in Mangawhai Village, the Community Op Shop in Mangawhai Heads or the Hospice Shop in Waipū. Swimwear is also accepted. Lions say the community has already donated bras, which are sorted and forwarded through Lions networks for distribution. The group is also encouraging anyone with unwanted or unused bras to contribute. Project Uplift began in 2005 and has since distributed hundreds of thousands of bras to communities where suitable underwear can be difficult to access or afford. Mangawhai Lions is also seeking volunteers to help with its projects. Anyone interested can call Shannon on 021 509 482.
