We give back to domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, rape clinics and disaster relief situations, who need these products the most and we fulfill urgent requests regularly. Through your orders, we've donated underwear to over 8,000 women in over 40 organizations and eight countries.
Haiti: We traveled to donate 300 pairs of underwear to women in three remote villages and a birthing clinic where underwear is difficult to access but very needed for women's hygiene purposes.
Havana, Cuba: We traveled to donate 75 pairs of underwear to homeless women and mothers in a maternity clinic where mentally or physically ill mothers-to-be can stay for treatment.
Quito, Ecuador: We traveled to donate 300 pairs of underwear to three organizations with an urgent underwear request: San Juan de Dios, teens and staff at Henry Davis Orphanage and mothers learning job training programs to better their lives at an organization called Cenit.
Each month, we spotlight a different organization or a few who will receive the underwear donations that your purchase initiates. You'll learn about the organization in a card with photos that we pack in your online order.

Our team traveled in person to four out of ten of these international drop-off trips. We receive urgent need requests from organizations all over the world for new underwear, and we do our best to get donations in their hands as fast as possible. If we aren't able to travel in person, we partner with local organizations and individuals to safely carry these basic necessities to the requested recipients.
We receive weekly requests for new underwear from homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, sexual assault clinics, post-prison orgs, drug-free housing orgs, disaster relief orgs, and the list goes on.
We prefer to go in person for our underwear drop-offs and create a special experience for the women receiving the donations. We create a "shop" with various styles and colors of underwear donations that the women get to choose from. We like to say, "It's not just underwear, it's dignity!" We often partner with a photographer to take beautiful portraits of the women - sometimes the first professional photography they've ever received. Sometimes our team will join the women for dinner or paint nails for fun so we may listen and learn about their journeys.
