Underwear Because We Care is excited to announce the dates for this year's underwear collection. The campaign will begin on October 6, 2013 and conclude November 3, 2013. The campaign will collect packages of new underwear; underpants, undershirts, bras and socks for Women, Children and Men. We will also collect clean, serviceable prosthetic bras for distribution to women in need.

The following places have agreed to be drop points: Trinity Episcopal Church, Trinity Lutheran Church, St. Albans Church, Blue Grass Presbyterian Church, all Churches in the Catholic Diocese of Davenport. The following business has agreed to be collection points: The Hair Society, Bettendorf. Additional drop off points are being developed and will be announced prior to the beginning of the campaign.

The underwear will be distributed to organizations that provide shelter for the needy and homeless.

Additional distribution, subject to adequate collections, will be made to other organizations that serve clients who have a need for underwear.
