Drop Off Your Drawers this June & July to Help Local Kids in Pinellas County

Clothes To Kids underwear drive “Drop (off) Your Drawers” for children is back! Through the months of June and July, CTK will run their annual DYD drive collecting new underwear for the kids in our community. Last year CTK distributed more than 80,000 pairs of new underwear!! Wow, that’s a lot of undies! This drive is designed to help Clothes to Kids collect new underwear for the children we serve and help us “underwrite” the cost of underwear. Every child who shops at Clothes To Kids receives 5 new pairs of underwear in their wardrobe.  

All children deserve clean, new underwear. Help us prepare for our busiest season of the year – back to school! Here are our current sizes needed.  

  • Boys Boxer Briefs, sizes XS, S, M, XL and Young Men Boxer Brief S, M, L and XL.  
  • Young Women Bikini’s sizes 5, 6, 7 and 8. 

* Florida Tax Free Shopping is from July 24 to August 6, 2023

Please support our mission and help us provide this basic necessity! Clothes matter and so does underwear. Individuals, companies, civic groups, places of worship, schools are encouraged to get involved! Will you join us? Contact Megan DiBlasi – MeganD@clothestokids.org.
