Its that time again for the Rotary Clubs of Grande Prairie Fall Dignity Drive Campaign.
The five Rotary Clubs in Grande Prairie have teamed up together once again to collect new/unused underwear and socks for homeless and street-involved people, as well as others who would benefit by having these items.
Access to clean underwear and socks is essential for one’s comfort, health, and hygiene. Wearing clean underwear and socks also contributes significantly to one’s sense of value and dignity as well as one’s confidence and motivation to aspire.
This fact applies to all people but is especially applicable for individuals who are attempting to transition out of homelessness and away from street-related activities. Underwear and socks are the most needed staple clothing but are the least donated items to centers that shelter and serve homeless and street-involved individuals.
This year's fall campaign will run from October 01-October 31, 2024.
You can drop off any donation of NEW socks and underwear to Keddie's, Costco, Edwards Factory Outlet, Bonnetts energy centre, Centre 2000 or Giant Tiger.
The 4th annual Tighty Whitey Toss in partnership with the GP Storm will also be happening on October 25th.
This is the game where once the Storm score their first goal we will toss PACKAGED NEW SOCK AND UNDERWEAR onto the ice.
