It’s the little things that can make the biggest difference in a person’s life.

Our Mission

Through underwear donations, we aim to restore dignity, foster healthier communities, and reduce our environmental impact.  

Access to proper hygiene and clean underwear promotes confidence, self-esteem, and security, which is essential for individuals to break the poverty cycle and achieve success within their community.

Our Purpose

  • Miniature figures on a wooden world map on a brown background, depicting global diversity.

    Expanding Our Impact

    The Undie Chest was born from a desire to expand our impact beyond supporting just women and girls to supporting the entire family.

    Recognizing that 1 in 6 children worldwide faces extreme poverty, and with the added strain of the COVID-19 pandemic on families, we felt compelled to take greater action.

    Reducing Our Environmental Impact

    Our mission also extends to reducing our environmental footprint by diverting waste from landfills.

    We accomplish this through donations of in-demand items like underwear, bras, and t-shirts. We also offer upcycling services for overstock and returns.
