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

August 1 - 31, 2024

#UndieneathItAll Everyone Deserves Underwear to Restore Dignity, Self-Esteem, and Confidence.

Many students look forward to reuniting with their friends after a long summer break, updating their wardrobes with new school clothes, and ensuring they have all the necessary supplies, such as books, backpacks, pens, and laptops, for a successful school year.

However, an estimated 1.5 million students in the U.S. are homeless or lack necessary resources, so items like new clothes and underwear are considered luxury items for them. From August 1 to 31, we want to unite communities to join our mission to end hygiene and underwear poverty. Through our Everyone Deserves Underwear (E.D.U.) program, we will donate to Title 1 Schools in the Phoenix, AZ, area.

Back-To-School Undie Drive Goals

• 5000 Pairs of New Undies and Bras

• $10,000 in Monetary Donations

Besides spreading the word to your networks of friends, family, and business associates, here are ways you can get involved:

Host an Undie Drive in your community

1. Purchase new underwear from our Underwear Wishlist.

2. Donate New Underwear or Gently Used/Like New Bras

We accept:

• New underwear for male and female students ages 8-18, but we will also accept underwear for adults because we want also to support the parents of the students.

  • Women and girls bras and sports bras - all sizes needed, but especially larger sizes (large - 2X, 38D+ -44D+ bras)

  • Women and girls panties - all sizes needed, large - 2X are the most requested
