Mission Underpants

a GINORMOUS underwear & sock collection benefiting local families in need!!!

Project Change hopes to raise 50,000+ pairs of new underwear and socks that can be distributed to many of the local non-profit shelters, day cares and homeless services organizations in the communities of our 17 teams. This basic need is an issue across the country and we hope to raise awareness to it, while we knock the socks off of several communities when they see what can happen when we come together for a cause!

Now thru May 6th 2011 Project Change - Team Awaken KC, will be collecting donations of NEW packaged underwear and socks for those in need (All Sizes Welcome!).
