Weird question, but I have my surgery bra still and don’t wear it anymore. Is this something that is donatable to a breast cancer group. Thinking about low income women or women with little insurance?

What a thoughtful and generous idea! Many organizations that support breast cancer patients do accept gently used post-surgery garments, as these specialized items can be expensive and aren't always covered by insurance. Consider reaching out to local cancer centers, breast cancer support groups, or organizations like the American Cancer Society to see if they have donation programs in your area - they can guide you on their specific needs and donation processes.

We have a Pick up for Breast Cancer organization that collects clothing and pick up once a month in my community ( I’m in South Florida).

Florida Breast Cancer Foundation does the pick up , it seems to be in Florida only. I’m sure there are others like it in other states .
