500 in 50
Socks & Underwear Drive
Our Basic Human Needs programs are in need of new, adult-sized socks and underwear for their guests. So we're trying to collect 500 pairs of socks and 500 pairs of underwear in the 50 days of Easter - beginning April 4th, Easter Sunday, and lasting until May 23rd, Pentecost Sunday.
To make this happen, we need your help!
Here's how:
-
Buy new packs of adult-sized socks and underwear online. Mix up the sizes! Plus-sized people especially are often left without these basic necessities.
-
When checking out, ship items directly to Episcopal Charities at 1047 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10025.
-
You can shop from our Amazon Wish List at ecny.charity/500wishlist, and if you select Episcopal Charities as your AmazonSmile beneficiary, you double your impact!
-
If you'd prefer to send us money and let us take care of the details, you can do so here, or by texting FIVEHUNDRED to 41444.
-
That's it! Sit back and relax and know you've made a huge difference in someone's quality of life.
