The Grand Forks chapter for Mothers of Preschoolers, or MOPS, collected gently-used bras for the nonprofit Free the Girls, which gives trafficking survivors an opportunity to "build their own business selling second-hand clothing". Can you imagine, your gently used undergarment could help provide access to food or education for a woman half-way across the world!
We were overwhelmed by the support from our group and our entire community! If you didn't have a chance to participate during the October bra drive, but are still interested in supporting the cause, please visit our Free The Girls page to donate

MOPS is a grassroots movement that believes moms are world influencers.
We also believe that incubating hearts and giving just-because-hugs can change the course of history. That’s why we connect moms all over the world to a community of women, in their own neighborhoods, who meet together to laugh, cry and embrace the journey of motherhood. MOPS groups are rallying women to be more honest, to feel more equipped and to find our identity by journeying along side one another.
MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers, and by preschoolers we mean kiddos from birth through kindergarten. We know it's a little confusing so let's just stick with "MOPS."
We are moms, and we believe that better moms make a better world.
