And people are still getting in touch wishing to donate \u2013 fabulous! As part of our Federation \u201890 for 90\u2019 to celebrate 90 years of Soroptimist International in the UK, our 90s are adding up!<\/p>\n<p>SI Cannock used their social media site to ask for unwanted bras. Three club members had \u2013 and still have &#8211; collection boxes outside their homes for bras to be donated. Other members helped by collecting items from friends, family and people unable to deliver them.<\/p>\n<p>This will be an on-going project for Cannock Soroptimists, all donations will be welcome. Please send a private message through the Facebook page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SICannock\">www.facebook.com\/SICannock<\/a> or email us on SI_Cannock_Donations@hotmail.com\u00a0 and we can arrange delivery or collection.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo below: 1.
