Yes, kids need undies too but adults are especially forgotten in this area of giving. Donating basic underwear does not usually inspire a feeling of euphoria among potential benefactors – BUT, can you imagine not knowing where your next pair is coming from?!?
We have an excellent supplier from whom we can buy 40 dozen men’s boxers (480), 20 dozen women’s bras (244), OR 54 dozen women’s briefs (648) for a $500 contribution! And, of course, we can mix and match according to the need at the moment. Our order is received within the week! That is a BIG and fast impact on many lives – helping to restore dignity and self-respect.
Underwear and bra bins are actually EMPTY as we write this! AND have been frequently empty for months. Underwear is flying off the shelves when it comes in as shelter staff seek to fill the needs of those in their care. It’s like toilet paper at Costco these days! Wouldn’t it be great to eliminate this particular problem for awhile?
If you want to see true delight on the faces of shelter staff just bring in a few big boxes of new underwear or bras. 🙂
Let us know how your group, corporation, business or family would like to participate in this effort.
