Announcing "Undy Sunday"!

The NC Foster Parents Association has made May 30, 2004 “Undy Sunday.” Working with churches from across the state, the NCFPA is asking that people bring a package of new underwear or socks to church with them to be donated to children in care. We are making this effort because unfortunately many children enter foster care with little or no clothing. Foster parents are usually able to find used clothing, but secondhand underwear is less than desirable.

With the proliferation of methamphetamine labs across the state, the situation worsens. Children removed from these home drug labs are not allowed to bring ANY of their own belongings because of the toxicity of the dust in the labs.

After May 30 the NCFPA will pick up the donated underwear and deliver them to the county DSS’s for distribution to the children. Check the NCFPA website (www.ncfpa.org) for the information needed to have your church take part in this effort and for a list of participating churches. Questions?
