First Annual Underwear Drive!
Help Us Meet One of the Most Overlooked—but Deeply Needed—Needs: New Underwear
Did you know that new underwear is one of the most urgently needed, yet least donated items for unhoused individuals?
Our trusted (+ beloved) partner at Connections for the Homeless provides a lifeline through their drop-in center—a safe space where our neighbors can shower, do laundry, and receive essentials like food, toiletries, and clothing. But they currently lack a reliable supply of new, packaged underwear—a basic dignity we often take for granted.
This summer, we’re teaming up to change that!
In honor of National Underwear Day, help us do something bold + meaningful by signing up here!
