‘Drop your Drawers’ event at Lincoln Public Library

STANFORD — The Lincoln County Public Library is having a “Drop Your Drawers” underwear collection drive Nov. 1-31 to help the Lincoln County Family Resource Centers replenish the schools’ supplies of emergency underpants.

Children who have accidents at school miss learning time in the classroom because parents often are unable to bring fresh underwear to their children during school hours. Donations of packages of new underwear will help provide assistance to families affiliated with each school’s family resource center. A mixture of boys and girls sizes as well as adult sizes are needed.
