If they really are new, please take them to either the homeless shelter or hospital. We had a young girl start volunteering with us who informed us that both of those places are always in desperate need of new underwear. I believe she said that used couldn't be donated due to health reasons, but she'd volunteered in college at a rape crisis center and they learned that most rape victims come into the ER alone and then leave wearing scrubs without undies.


PP quoted, please elaborate. So new in the package underwear was trashed at Sal Army? I personally will inquire at my Sal Army, but very curious as to why.

The thrift stores near me sell used bathing suits too. Kids and grownups.

Clean condition, nothing ratty or soiled. $1 or $2 a suit.

I heard from a colleague that the waste transfer center no longer does this, although I have not been over to confirm.



The bin was still there and available for donations as of last fall. I haven't been back in a while but will post if I find new information.

No. I wear mine until they fall apart.
