Undies Sundays project collects 8,000 items
for needy
October 24, 2005
The official count is in
for this year's Undies Sundays project! Volunteers sorted
through the collection of new socks, underwear, diapers and personal
care items on national
Make a Difference Day, October 22nd, 2005, and counted
8,000 donations!
Undies
Sundays,
which proved to be a success for the third year in a row, collected
items September 18th through October 16th, at
designated
locations.
The items were
then distributed to needy individuals and families in the
community through food shelves and shelters, such as CVIC, Red River
Valley Community Action, Salvation Army, Northlands Rescue Mission and
Foster Childcare.
But it isn’t the number
of donations that matter. What matters is the fact that people in our
community were without something as basic as underwear—and now have
it.
Thanks to all those who
donated and helped this year!
