New Underwear. Measurable Impact.
We distribute new undergarments through schools, nonprofits, and retail partners serving communities facing hardship nationwide.
Dignity starts with feeling good undie-neath.
For many individuals and families, something as basic as clean underwear can be out of reach. The Undie Chest provides new, essential undergarments to people facing financial hardship, homelessness, domestic violence, health challenges, and unexpected life disruptions across the United States and beyond.
We work with schools, shelters, nonprofit organizations, and retail partners to turn unused inventory and community support into something meaningful. Clean underwear supports health, confidence, school attendance, and the ability to move forward with dignity.
Because basic hygiene is not optional.
