 In celebration of their 10th year anniversary, Little Black Box, the area’s only boutique shop dedicated to bras, is asking the public to once again help with their yearly “Bra-raising drive.” Owner Ginger Steele-Giggenbach said the need for bras for those less fortunate is a topic that isn’t talked about very much. “Ladies, stop for just a moment and think about not having a bra and then couple that with the inability to even pay for a new bra,” Steele said. “Now go check in your dresser drawer and when you find that bra that you’ve never used or only used once because it doesn’t fit right, bring it to me.” Steele-Giggenbach will launder the bras and deliver them them to appropriate locations throughout the county. If you would like to purchase a new bra to donate, or buy one for your... 09/13/2017
