More details
I spent 34 days working at an orphanage in Monrovia, Liberia. Of the 90+ children who call BJCCV home, most children there only had 1 pair of underwear, so on wash days, they were without. The pair that they did have was usually falling apart at the seams. The impact of something as simple as a new, clean pair of underwear is amazing! This collection will go to the children at Bishop Judith Craig Children's Village in Margibi County.
NEW packages of underwear are preferred, however, I will gladly accept gently used underwear (but wash the used ones before you send them, thanks). I am in need of all sizes, but the greatest need is for underwear for teens (men's & women's sizes). However, I will take any size underwear that you're willing to give!!
