  • ✨ For the past 12 days, we’ve celebrated the impact of giving—highlighting just a few of the thousands of lives touched through our nonprofit partners. From women escaping violence to veterans overcoming homelessness, these donations provide more than just underwear...👇 They restore dignity and confidence, helping people rebuild their lives. 🩲 One pack of underwear might seem small, but it’s the first step in breaking the cycle of poverty. Imagine Marcus, who uses that dignity to land a job as a youth mentor, inspiring dozens of young people to find their way. Or Maria, who goes on to serve hundreds in her new role in healthcare. ❤️ The ripple effect starts with ONE small act. 📢 This Giving Tuesday, be the one to make a difference. Recycle gently used bras, donate new underwear, or make a monetary contribution through our nonprofit, The Undie Chest, to support those in need this Giving Tuesday. 👉 Get involved: https://lnkd.in/eQc9BWwY #SeasonOfGiving #GivingTuesday

  • 🎁 Day 11 of our 12 Days of Undie Giving for #GivingTuesday 🎁 Today, we’re shining a light on Mathew’s Closet in Mesa, AZ — an organization dedicated to providing a safe, judgment-free zone for children with open DCS cases and their families. 👨👩👧👦 Serving 300 individuals every month, Mathew’s Closet ensures that families in need — often arriving with little more than the clothes on their backs — can access essentials at no cost. Their support extends to everyone from infants to adults aged 64, offering dignity and hope as families work to rebuild their lives. Last month, with your support, we donated 664 lbs of new underwear, bras, pajamas, and leggings to Mathew’s Closet. 💕 These basics make a huge difference for families taking their next steps toward stability. This Giving Tuesday, let’s keep the generosity going. 🎄 Every bra recycled or new pair of underwear donated helps empower families like those served by Mathew’s Closet. Recycle gently used bras, donate new underwear, or make a monetary contribution through our nonprofit, The Undie Chest, to support those in need this Giving Tuesday. 👉 Get involved: https://lnkd.in/eQc9BWwY #SeasonOfGiving #GivingTuesday

  • 🎁 Day 8 of our 12 Days of Undie Giving for #GivingTuesday 🎁 Today, we're highlighting Catholic Community Services of Southern Arizona and their Safe House Domestic Violence Shelter. ✨ "End the cycle of violence by providing shelter, a continuum of services, prevention programs, community education, and victim advocacy" — this is the heart of their mission. When women arrive at their shelters, they often come with nothing but the clothes they're wearing. Thanks to your generosity, the bras you've recycled have given these women something they urgently need: dignity and comfort in the form of clean undergarments. 💕 This Giving Tuesday, your small act of kindness can go a long way. Let's keep the spirit of giving alive this holiday season. 🎄 Recycle gently used bras, donate new underwear, or make a monetary contribution through our nonprofit, The Undie Chest, to support those in need this Giving Tuesday. 👉 Get involved: https://lnkd.in/eQc9BWwY #SeasonOfGiving #GivingTuesday

  • 🎄✨ The holiday season is in full swing, and we’ve got a simple way you can make a big impact! While you’re out doing your holiday shopping (or snagging those Black Friday deals 😉), why not pick up an extra pack of underwear? 🩲 For many, clean and adequate underwear is an unaffordable luxury, but it’s essential. Lack of access to proper underwear can perpetuate the cycle of poverty—and your support can help change that. 💌 Consider sending some our way and make someone’s holiday a little brighter. 🔗 bit.ly/recycle-bras Happy Holidays! 🎁💖 #givingback #recyclebras #blackfridaydeals

  • ✨ We have a winner! ✨ The very first Barbara J. Birks Above and Beyond Award goes to Patricia Thornton, a school nurse at Shamley School, Tempe, AZ, who’s been a lifeline for students and families for over 30 years. 💛 This award honors school nurses and teachers who go the extra mile to support kids in need. It was created in memory of Barbara J. Birks, the late mother of our CEO, Elaine Birks-Mitchell, and a true champion for children and education. From making home visits to keeping her office stocked with clothes and food, Patricia always finds ways to show up for her students. 👏 🌟 Read Patricia’s inspiring story here: bit.ly/BJB-Award-Winner Know someone making a difference? Nominations reopen next August—start thinking about who you’d love to celebrate!

  • Undergarments have a far-reaching impact beyond what meets the eye. Through our partnership with amazing organizations like Nourish Phoenix, recycled items will reach underserved communities, offering an essential resource to help break the cycle of poverty. 💪 We recently donated a huge shipment of 1,132 lbs of essentials—including men's and women's new underwear, pajamas, and bras—to support Nourish Phoenix in providing vital resources and creating pathways to self-sufficiency! 🙏 A big thank you to our recyclers and retail partners—your dedication makes deliveries like this possible!
