It’s more than a pair of underwear. It’s dignity 🤍
It’s crazy how something as simple as a new fresh pair of underwear can change how you feel about yourself. But it really does. It’s about dignity.
When times are tough and money is tight, buying new underwear and bras is usually the very first thing to get cut from the budget. But honestly, everyone deserves that basic feeling of putting on something brand new, something that actually fits, belongs to them. That’s exactly why we started From The Inside Out.
The idea actually goes back to when Grace was in Grade 8 at her local public school. She realized back then that schools really struggle to get donations for these specific, personal items, and it always stuck with her. So earlier this year, we finally decided to do something about it.
We launched our first official underwear and bra drive, and to be completely honest, we had no idea what to expect. What we quickly found out was pretty heartbreaking: these are items people rarely think to donate, even though the need is huge.
When we dropped off our donations at the Compassion Society, the team there was so blown away. It was a wake-up call for us, and since then, those items have gone straight to local families and individuals who really needed them.
A new pack of underwear or a new bra might seem small, but it’s a simple way to make someone feel cared for, respected, and truly seen. Asking for help shouldn't mean you have to give up your dignity, and basic necessities shouldn't be treated like a luxury.
Please help us spread the word. Start a conversation about this, watch for us next year when we host our bags throughout the city again, donate if you're able to, and remember that sometimes the smallest things make the biggest impact.
Everyone deserves to feel good from the inside out.

Hey Burlington…remember us?
It’s been a little while since we’ve popped up here, so we thought it was time to say hello. 👋
We’re Grace & Izzy, and we’re the sisters behind From The Inside Out, a youth-led initiative we started because we noticed something was often missing from clothing donations: underwear and bras.
We all wear them.
We all need them.
And everyone deserves access to these basic necessities.
Our first drive was such an incredible reminder of what can happen when a community comes together. 💗
We’ve been a little quiet while we’ve been thinking, planning and dreaming about what From The Inside Out could become.
And trust us, we’re not done yet. 👀
We’re working on plans for 2027, and we’re hoping to reach even more people, connect with more local businesses and collect even more of these much-needed essentials for people in our community.
For now, we just wanted to say:
We’re still here.
We’re still passionate.
And we’re just getting started.
Thank you for being part of our journey. 🩷

Giving comfort. Giving dignity. From The Inside Out.

We’ve been doing a lot of reflecting since wrapping up our very first From The Inside Out undergarment donation drive ❤️
And WOW…we are so proud to say we didn’t just reach our goal, we surpassed it!
Our goal was 1,000 items and together, we collected over 1,300 brand new items of underwear and bras for men, women, boys, and girls. That’s 1,300 people who will be able to visit The Compassion Society and select an item that is needed, and that means everything to us.
This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support from our community and the amazing local businesses who partnered with us, hosting donation bags, sharing our posts, and cheering us on along the way; we are so, so grateful!
As proud as we are, we’ve also learned a lot and we’re already thinking about how to make next year even bigger and better…
At the end of the day, we’re just a couple of local teens who had an idea and went for it and this is only the beginning.
We are beyond grateful for every single person who donated, shared, supported, and believed in us. You helped make a real difference.
We’ll be back, bigger, better, and even more prepared!
See you next year and don’t forget about us.

We did our final count for From The Inside Out’s very first donation drive…and WOW!
We raised and donated a total of 1,330 items!
We are so incredibly happy (and honestly a little emotional) to have exceeded our goal of 1,000 items.
Thank you to every single person who donated, shared, or supported this effort. This community is truly amazing!
We made the donation this morning and had the chance to meet so many wonderful volunteers and staff, plus tour the facilities at the Compassion Society of Halton. What an incredible organization supporting hundreds of families in the Halton region.

We wanted to share a quick look at all the donations collected so far for the Compassion Society of Halton!The support from our community has been absolutely incredible.
Because of all of you: friends, neighbours, local businesses, and supporters, we have collected over 1,000 items to help people in our community. That truly means so much to us.
