Project Undercover

Personal hygiene and physical comfort are basic human rights. New, clean underwear, socks and bras provide dignity and self-esteem and yet are the most under-donated items of clothing for unhoused and underprivileged communities.

Through this year’s Project Undercover we will collect new underwear, socks and bras to support children in grades K-12 through the Annual School Support Drive through our partner donor networks, Young Leaders United and PULSE.

Schools supported are: Chicora Elementary School, River Oaks Middle School, Cross High School and the McKinney Vento Program of Berkeley County.

Please consider bringing new undergarments to the Women United Awards Luncheon or donate via our Amazon Wish List! 

Thank you to our generous event sponsors!
