“Our annual Seats & Feets drive is vital to bringing in thousands of pairs of underwear, socks and diapers for our clients,” said Molly Evjen, director of volunteers and community resources. “We hope that community members will consider hosting a socially distant drive at their office, church or in their neighborhood.”

Share is asking for new underwear (all sizes, for men, women, teens and children), diapers (all sizes, including pull-ups) and athletic-style socks ((all sizes, for men, women, teens and children).

Donations can be brought to the Share Fromhold Service Center, 2306 NE Andresen Road, by appointment only; contact Kelly Baumann at kbaumann@sharevancouver.org to arrange for a drop-off time. Please also contact Baumann for details on hosting a collection drive.

Financial donations to support the drive can also be made on-line at sharevancouver.org.
