Many impoverished children and teens go without under garments or have hand-me-downs. Some save their one best pair for church and doctor visits nicknamed their “Sunday Undies.” What a treat for them to have a best pair to wear every day of the week.The campaign “SUNDAY UNDIES” will provide newly purchased items and be distributed at Bridge of Peace for children ages 3 years – 18 years.
Beginning August 21, please select a gift tag from the BOP bulletin board located in the foyer next to the mailboxes. Each tag has a gender and size. Place donations, with the gift tag securely attached, in the bin provided under the BOP bulletin board no later than Sept. 18th.
Some suggestions:
- MALE ITEMS: briefs, boxers, and boxer briefs, under shirts/athletic t-shirts and winter thermals
- FEMALE ITEMS: panties/briefs, boy-shorts, play shorts, camisoles, sports bras and winter thermals.
- Also a need for bras: when you see a sale or a clearance item please purchase and donate; it will be a perfect fit for a young lady in need.
Monetary donations are also accepted; checks payable to St. Matthew with “Sunday Undies” in the memo.
