Sock and underwear drive happening now!
From now until April 1, we are collecting BRAND NEW, UNOPENED socks and underwear for adults of all sizes and genders. These are the most sought-after and often overlooked items requested by our unhoused community and folks in need.
Here’s how you can help:
- Order socks and/or underwear and have it delivered directly to us (addresses here).
- Drop off donations of socks/underwear to a collection site.
- Contribute to our GoFundMe so we can purchase socks and underwear in bulk.
- Start a collection in your own neighborhood or workplace!
As a reminder, we ask that you do not send clothing aside from the sock and underwear request. If you would like to collect items beyond this, we are happy to put you in touch with local organizers who accept gently-used shirts, pants, etc. Please no bras or undershirts.
The BND Coat Exchange began over 20 years ago when founder Greg Gerritt decided to channel his love of the environment into a charitable cause. Annually occurring on Black Friday, Buy Nothing Day invites you to give rather than spend, and to repurpose rather than toss. Each Friday after Thanksgiving, those in need of warmth meet at donation sites around the state to receive gently-used winter gear. Whether taking a coat or donating one, you’ll always be met with a smile.
