Mission

In order to encourage the self-esteem and health of school children,
Undies for Everyone distributes new underwear and socks to disadvantaged school
children. 

We fulfill our mission by partnering with community and private groups
to collect merchandise and donations for purchasing underwear and socks.

Since it’s inception in 2008 as a community service project, UFE has distributed over 20,000 pair of underwear to HISD students and this summer partners with the City of Houston Back to School Fest to give away 15,000 pair of underwear and socks. Continuing a partnership with HISD, UFE will provide 200 elementary and middle school nurses with an emergency stock of underwear. Ft. Bend and Alief school districts community programs will also receive several thousand items.

Organizations, businesses and individuals who would like to give a school child a fresh start when school begins can contact Rabbi Amy Weiss, executive director through the website, www.undiesforeveryone.org
