Supporting Second Chances with The Other Side Academy: How Your Donations Help Women in Need

At The Undie Chest, we believe that everyone deserves a fresh start. That’s why we’re proud to support organizations like The Other Side Academy, which helps individuals rebuild their lives after facing challenges such as addiction, incarceration, and homelessness.

Their free, 2.5-year residential program provides the structure, skills, and support needed for long-term transformation, empowering participants to achieve independence and stability.

The Power of Providing the Basics

For many women entering The Other Side Academy, they arrive with little to nothing.

The program ensures they have essential items—including clothing—to support their transition into a healthier, more structured life.

Something as simple as a bra can have a profound impact.

It’s more than just an article of clothing; it provides comfort, dignity, and a sense of normalcy as these women take steps toward a brighter future.

Urgent Need for New Bras and Underwear

Right now, there is an immediate need for bras, especially in larger sizes, to ensure that every woman in the program has access to well-fitting, supportive undergarments.

Your donation can make a tangible difference.

By contributing new bras and underwear, you are directly supporting the confidence and comfort of women on their journey to self-sufficiency.

Empowering Through Work and Opportunity

Beyond providing basic necessities, The Other Side Academy equips participants with hands-on work experience through student-run businesses like The Other Side Movers and The Other Side Furniture Boutique.

These initiatives help students gain job skills, build self-reliance, and prepare for life beyond the program.
