Join Our October Bra Drive
For Breast Cancer Awareness
Did You Know? 1 in 3 women worldwide struggle to afford basic sanitary items, including bras. Also, nearly 50% of women wear the wrong bra size, emphasizing the importance of access to properly fitting undergarments for women’s health.
What to donate?
- New, unopened packages of bras of all sizes.
- Gently worn bras of all sizes.
Where will the items go?
Items will be donated to I Support The Girls, a non-profit organization that distributes donations to women and girls in various underserved communities including homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, refugee settlement homes, foster care agencies, LGBTQ agencies, homes for pregnant teens, and more.
The drive will run from now through October 31st, 2024. Bring your items in to our office. Let’s make a difference together!

“Dr A Simmonds is an amazing doctor! I can’t begin to say the level of care I’ve received from this office! I feel cared for! The office girls are wonderful! I have never had a bad visit! If you’re new to the area, looking for a new office, or just aren’t happy with your current care! I can’t say enough good things! I came from CWC worried I might not have the same care. Those worries were completely misplaced! Also the nurses who do the nurse line are true heroes! They have always answered my questions and gotten me the care I needed!! If I could give them 10 stars I would!!”

“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Martin’s for over 17 years. This appt had been rescheduled from their Gaithersburg office to the one in Clarksburg. Maybe it was the snowy weather today but, at the time of my afternoon appt, I was the only patient there. The office is clean and bright and the staff were very friendly. I didn’t feel rushed during my exam and had plenty of time for Dr. Martin to answers my questions.”
