Donate much-needed men’s underwear to Philadelphia prison inmates for Easter.
Each inmate arriving into the Philadelphia Prison System is given ONE pair of underwear briefs and no undershirts or socks. Can you imagine life like this?
In past years, through the Undies for Easter campaign, your generosity has provided over 2,000 men’s briefs, over 2,000 men’s undershirts, and over 2,000 pairs of socks. Head Chaplain Urena is now again in need of assistance as he aims to provide at least one additional pair of briefs, an undershirt, and socks to each individual entering incarceration.
This year, the need continues as there are 3600 people in the Philadelphia prison system, within 5 facilities. The overwhelming majority are men.
We have set up a new Undies for Easter Gift Registry on Amazon. Just click here.
Anyone can easily purchase online packages of selected Fruit of the Loom briefs, containing 9 pairs of men’s white briefs—medium or large, and Hanes 6-packs of undershirts in large and X-large, as well as 12-packs of crew socks. They will benefit the health and wellness of our incarcerated brothers and help them maintain a sense of their humanity as beloved children of God.
We hope to again collect and deliver at least 2,000 pairs of briefs, undershirts, and socks through this campaign to support the chaplain’s efforts. This campaign will end on Palm Sunday, March 29, and all purchased underwear will be delivered to the chaplain before Easter Sunday.
Thank you for being so generous in supporting those who are incarcerated!
