The Gathering Place is Denver’s only daytime drop-in center for women and children who are experiencing homelessness or poverty.  Cindy Johnson, co-owner of SOL discovered this need for bras within the community when she donated over 100 bras to the shelter during Christmas 2004.  She was told that all the bras would be gone by the end of the day!  Cindy realized there was a need for gently worn bras and since the first Bra Drive in October of 2005, SOL has created a space within the shelter for the storage and distribution of bras. Once a month several of SOL’s staff members provide personal bra fittings to the women of The Gathering Place and to date they have distributed more than 1000 bras.
