It is that time of year for Clothes To Kids annual Drop (off) Your Drawers underwear drive for children in our community. Each year CTK provides more than 80,000 pairs of new underwear! That’s a lot of underwear! The drive is designed to collect and help us “underwrite” underwear – a basic part of the Clothes To Kids wardrobe. All children deserve clean, new underwear. For the months of July and August, Clothes To Kids will be collecting new, unopened packages of underwear. Sizes needed for boys are 4-16 (boxer briefs) and young men sizes 30 & Up. For girls we need sizes 6-16, Junior Girls Sizes 5 and up (primarily bikini style are requested). Please support our mission and help us provide this basic necessity! Clothes matter and so do underwear.
