Overview

Mission

Undies for Everyone provides children living in poverty or crisis with new underwear, recognizing the importance of this small basic need as part of a child's increased chances of long-term success.

What it reported doing in 2024

In fiscal year 2024-2025, Undies for Everyone (UFE) provided 220,730 underserved children ages 5-14 with a week's supply of underwear, a basic yet often overlooked need. A total of 1,545,110 pairs were distributed through 87 UFE partners including federally mandated school district homeless departments, Child Protective Services, medical mobile clinics, Boys and Girls Clubs and community closets across the country (67 cities in 30 states). All recipients live below the poverty line and are overwhelmingly made up of minority groups. Over 60% of recipients are Hispanic, 25% African American, followed by White, Asian, and Pacific Islanders.

The verdict
