Underwear Because We Care is excited to announce the initial results of this year's underwear campaign. The campaign which began on October 1, 2015 and concluded on November 1, 2015 exceeded our goal of 4500 and resulted in 4600 items being collected and distributed through 25 organizations that provide services to the needy and homeless. In addition, there are several collection/drop sites that have chosen to collect after the campaign and we now anticipate, for the first time, a second distribution in the mid-February time frame. We have established a goal of 1500 additional items for this second distribution.
The campaign collects packages of new underwear; underpants, undershirts, bras and socks for Women, Children (both girls and boys) and Men. With winter having arrived, we are looking to collect both year round and winter underwear. We will also collect clean, serviceable prosthetic bras for distribution to women in need.
For those who wish to donate money rather than directly purchase underwear, contributions may be sent to Underwear Because We Care, PO. Box 2242, Davenport Iowa 52809. We are a 501c(3) so your donation may be tax deductible.
All underwear collected or purchased, will be distributed to organizations that provide shelter and services for the needy and homeless citizens in the Quad Cities.
If you are interested in helping or have any questions, please call Grant Curtis at 563-528-0835 or email underwearBWC@gmail.com with a subject line of Underwear Campaign.
