🩲🩳🧦SHARE SOME BLOOM(ER)S this year during the Boone County Extension Homemakers 2025 Holiday Bazaar. 🩲🩳🧦
Help the Boone County Extension Homemakers help those in need this year during our "Share some Bloom(er)s Drive".
In our country, charitable efforts usually focus on extreme or obvious needs, such as hunger, housing, and medical care. While clothing donations are often made, most charitable organizations do not accept used underwear, and new underwear doesn't usually make the list. The Boone County Extension Homemakers are asking for help to make a difference in underwear insecurity--the lack of sufficient, clean and size appropriate underwear. It's a problem with not only children, but adults, as well.
Poverty can play a role--when people are struggling to pay rent or unities and put food on the table, underwear becomes a luxury item. Children in poverty often have hand-me-downs, shared undies or no undies at all. Homelessness and mental illness can also be a factor for many adults and children. Underwear insecurity can cause issues with confidence, self-esteem and dignity--something everyone deserves.
