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, 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.
