HOUSTON – At KPRC 2, we're proud to showcase those making a difference in the area we serve. Each week, we will feature a local activist, community leader, charity group, nonprofit or organization shaping our community.

This week, we take a look at a Houston nonprofit providing underwear and dignity to kids in need: Undies for Everyone.

The organization collects underwear and distributes them to school districts, shelters and relief organizations in Greater Houston, Austin and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Rabbi Amy Weiss launched Undies for Everyone in 2012. Since then, the nonprofit has distributed over three million pairs of underwear.

In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, the nonprofit distributed some one million pairs of underwear to storm victims throughout Texas.

Undies for Everyone relies on continued support from the community to help kids keep clean and confident.

How to support Undies for Everyone:

Volunteer

Work in the warehouse packing underwear. This volunteer opportunity is perfect for families with young children. All ages are welcome to volunteer. Pro tip: Dress comfortably and wear closed-toe shoes.

Donate

Is your spirit of service at odds with your jam-packed schedule? No worries. Undies for Everyone depends on a steady supply of donations to provide underprivileged kiddos with clean undies. The nonprofit donates one pair of underwear for every dollar it receives.
