Second 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.

Again this summer, we’re teaming up to change that!

In honor of the Second Annual National Underwear Day, help us do something bold + meaningful by signing up here!
