Yes, as long as the remaining pairs have never been worn or laundered.

Can I donate new underwear if it is not in a pack, has never been worn and does not have tags on?

Unfortunately we cannot accept these items, but maybe a shelter or clothing distribution center near you will accept them.

Used underwear does not provide the hygiene, dignity and self esteem that new underwear does. We cannot donate used underwear. Used underwear can be recycled.

Either is great to support our mission! However, with monetary donations we can purchase more underwear for the dollar through our wholesalers. To make a monetary donation click here.
