At Undie Chest, we envision a world of hygiene equity, where families in need can focus on food, shelter and safety and not have to worry about underwear.

Mission

Our mission is to reduce hygiene poverty by donating underwear to organizations providing life skills and restoring dignity to families in need.

We Serve:

‣ We provide new underwear to underserved communities for individuals and families who are homeless, living in poverty, survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence and students in Title 1 schools.

Why Our Work Matters:

‣ Underwear is one of the MOST REQUESTED yet LEAST DONATED items for people in need.
Millions of pounds of new or gently used bras or new underwear are thrown in landfills every year which could be recycled and reused to benefit families in need.

How You Can Make A Difference:

‣ Your donation of new underwear can help restore dignity and reduce hygiene poverty for underserved communities.

We accept:

All ages and sizes

Together, we can achieve five UN Sustainable Development Goals:

Sustainable Development Goals

SDG No Poverty

SDG 4 Quality Education

SDG 4

SDG 10 Reduce Inequalities

SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production

Environmental Impact Of Your Donations

In 2022, 1,393 pounds of donations not only help families in need around the world, but they also help our environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to:

41.4 million people of the US population in 2021 were identified as living in poverty in 2021. (US Census)
The National Alliance to End Homelessness states that one of the causes of homelessness is that low-income households often do not earn enough to pay for food, clothing, transportation, and a place they can call home. Let’s help ease their burden and restore dignity with the donation of underwear.

55% of children who did not have underwear and socks to wear wanted to skip school or refused to go to school because he or she was embarrassed by not having any socks or underwear to wear. (Morar Consulting)
Sending children to school without underwear profoundly impacts the parents emotionally. Parents feel embarrassed, stressed, disappointed, and insecure because they don't have adequate resources to purchase underwear for their children. The Everyone Deserves Underwear (EDU) Program wants to help ease the stress on students and their families, so they can thrive in school and their personal lives.
