This week is the Drop Your Gonch Underwear Drive for Bissell Centre and your help is needed!
A clean pair of underwear is really taken for granted when you have access to them, but the truth is that when you’re homeless, it’s one of the least donated items and it’s one of the first luxuries that is given up when a person becomes homeless.
This year Bissell Centre has a goal to reach 5000 donated pairs of both men’s and women’s underwear in sizes small, medium, large, extra large as well as bras!
Until July 21st you can drop off new underwear or monetary donations at several places around Edmonton which include:
South Side Drop-off
5120 – 122 Street
Mon-Sat
9:00 am – 4:00 pm
