The Undie Chest 2024 Impact Summary: How Your Support Made a Difference

At The Undie Chest, we’re committed to making a tangible difference in the world through sustainable practices and meaningful partnerships.

As we look back on 2024, we are thrilled to share the impact we achieved together, thanks to the incredible support from our donors and partners.

10,083 Pounds of Undergarments Donated

This year, we successfully donated 10,083 pounds of bras and underwear to communities in need. These essential items not only bring comfort and dignity to those who receive them but also help divert waste from landfills, contributing to a greener planet.

Preventing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

By redistributing these items instead of discarding them, we prevented an estimated 244,614 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO₂) equivalent emissions.

That’s a big win for the environment! Here are some key ways to understand the scale of this achievement:

✅ 12,485 gallons of gasoline were kept from being consumed.

✅ Equivalent to the emissions from 282,553 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle.

✅ Comparable to the annual energy use of 23.1 homes.

✅ Equal to charging 8,970,342 smartphones!

✅ Similar to recycling 39.2 tons of waste instead of sending it to landfills.

Why This Matters

Textile waste is a significant contributor to environmental harm, with millions of pounds of clothing and undergarments ending up in landfills each year.

By recycling and reusing items, we’re supporting individuals in need and taking a stand against wastefulness and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
