Back-To-School Undie Drive: Empowering Students With Dignity and Comfort


August Kicks-Off The Annual Back to School Undie Drive For The Undie Chest

August 1 - 31, 2025

As students prepare to return to the classroom, The Bra Recyclers is proud to support our nonprofit arm, The Undie Chest, in launching the annual Back to School Undie Drive this August.

Through our shared mission, we aim to restore dignity and confidence to students in Title 1 schools by ensuring they have access to a simple yet critical item - clean underwear.

Why It Matters

Many Title 1 schools face deep funding cuts, leaving little room for the bare essentials. Undergarments are rarely prioritized - yet they’re a daily necessity that directly affects a student’s comfort, confidence, and ability to focus.

We're working to bridge that gap through our Everyone Deserves Underwear (EDU) initiative.

This Year's Impact Goals

In partnership with The Undie Chest, we’re working to collect 5,000 pairs of new underwear and raise $10,000 to support students and their families ahead of the new academic year.

How Your Support Can Help Families Thrive

Donate Essentials

  • New underwear for male and female students (ages 8–18)
    We also welcome adult sizes to support parents and caregivers.

    All sizes are appreciated, with high demand for larger sizes (L–2X, 38D+ to 44D+).
