Get behind Undie Sunday!
Coming soon to an altar near you—diapers and pads and undies—OH MY! And again this year, Personal Care Kits for refugees too! Augustana’s CAN Ministry will host its fourth annual Undie Sunday, January 29–February 19, accompanying people of all ages with their unseen needs in a visible way.
We are asking for donations of:
Kid-sized underwear, diapers, and wipes for Foster Source
Feminine hygiene pads for Ruby’s Market for refugees (served by Lutheran Family Services) and pads or tampons for George Washington High School’s food pantry
Personal Care Kit items or completed kits (see details below) for Lutheran World Relief
Bring items to Augustana’s altars, January 29–February 19. You may even order items online and have them delivered to:
Attn: Undie Sunday
Augustana Lutheran Church
5000 E Alameda Ave
Denver CO 80246
If you have any questions about this donation drive, please contact Augustana at 303-388-4678 or by email.
Help make or supply Personal Care Kits for Undie Sunday
Between January 29 and February 19, Augustana will be collecting Personal Care Kits for Lutheran World Relief (associated with ELCA World Hunger), who distributes them to refugees who have fled their homes for safety or to families whose homes are destroyed by disasters.
A personal care kit includes five items:
towel
bar of soap
comb
toothbrush
nail clipper
See additional information at https://lwr.org/kits/personal-care-kits/instructions.
Tips for supplying and assembling PCKs:
Carefully follow the assembly guidelines!
If you purchase multi-pack toothbrushes, put the individual toothbrush in an envelope.
Buy lightweight towels in dark colors so they can dry quickly in the camps.
Do not add any other items or use any plastic bags.
Assemble four items in the folded towel and secure with yarn, ribbon, or rubber bands.
If you prefer, you can support the shipping, which is $2.65 per item.
