For the past 24 years the Rotary Club has sponsored the collection of new and unused underclothing and socks which provide personal dignity, comfort and warmth and are so much appreciated by those who receive them each year. There is a particular need for warm socks, T-shirts, men’s underwear, sizes Large, Extra Large and XX Large and all women’s undergarments including leggings.
The donated items will be distributed to the Community Mission of Niagara Falls and other missions in the area.
