Most people take things like underwear for granted. At Catholic Charities, we have found that low-income families and seniors living on poverty-level incomes do not spend money on underwear and they desperately need it.
Catholic Charities is proud to announce that the 17th Annual Undy Sunday will be held on October 20, 2019. We are asking parishes to collect underwear on that date and schools to collect items the week of October 14th – 18th. Last year, 50 parishes, schools and organizations participated in the program. They collected thousands of pairs of underwear and socks which were distributed to low-income children, families and seniors through our various locations throughout the Diocese of Joliet. This year we are hoping for even more participation!
