With the cold of winter upon us the Rotary Club of Grand Island will host its annual Undie Sunday 2023 collection between Jan 22 – 29. For 23 years the Rotary Club has sponsored the collection of new and unused underclothing and socks which provide personal dignity, comfort and warmth and so much appreciated by those who receive them each year. There is a particular need of warm socks, T-shirts, men’s underwear, sizes Large, Extra Large and XX Large and all women’s undergarments.
The donated items will be distributed to the Community Mission of Niagara Falls and Journey’s End Refugee Services.
