Underpants!
Hey! See below for updates!
Who doesn't love underpants? I love underpants. You know who would really love underpants? People who don't have any underpants.
Here's the deal: Thousands of folks affected by Hurricane Katrina are being evacuated to shelters in Arkansas, Missouri and Illinois for who knows how long. Generous people have donated clothing and other supplies for them, but there's a serious shortage of clean undergarments for women, men and children.
Click here to donate cash via PayPal and DropCash. I'll be purchasing and drop-shipping as many clean, packaged undergarments as possible. They'll go directly to folks who fled the hurricane-affected areas and are currently being cared for at relief centers in St. Louis; Belleville, Illinois; and Fort Chaffee, Arkansas.
I've already made a couple of big cash donations to the American Red Cross—and I encourage you to do the same, however much you're able. But if you can, please contribute to the BradLands Underpants Drive too.
Thanks, and I'll keep you updated on this project's progress. Questions? Just ask.
Note: Your contribution will be processed through my business PayPal account, so you'll get a receipt from this gal. I'm also taking care of the PayPal fees, so your entire gift will go directly to underpants. Cross my...er, heart.
[September 4] Update: The Underpants Drive has topped $700 in contributions and a pledge from anonymous donor that will take care of shipping. I'm covering the PayPal fees. That means 100% of your dollars are going to buy understuff for folks who need it.
The first boxes of briefs and panties and socks and whatnot should hit the ground on Tuesday or Wednesday, and will be distributed by reputable organizations to folks displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Thank you! And spread the word—the BradLands Underpants Drive continues.

I passed it on to my tens of readers (and Cat and I sent you some cash).
Cwtsh!
Hi, I am working a shelter at First Presbyterian Church in Orange, Tx. Every evacuee will travel through Orange as we are the first town in Texas. See rc3.org for an update on our shelter. We have bought every person in our shelter new undies (we raided Wal-Mart!) and it is greatly appreciated. Might I suggest that you add socks to your underpants drive. Everyone has requested socks and we have bought every pair of tube socks that Wal-MArt has. Undies and Socks...necessities!
Underpants are keen. Especially those pictured... I went to Target (I'm in Houston) over the weekend to get underpants to bring to storm victims. Guess what? NO UNDERPANTS! Okay, what about undershirts? NO UNDERSHIRTS! Okay, what about deoderant? NO DEODERANT! Toothbrushes? You guessed it! My Target had been cleaned out probably by people who had the same idea as me. I ended up getting lots of brush and comb sets for kids and some of the indestructable combs. Also found some super cute toothbrush and toothpaste sets for kids, yay! Maybe that is a good idea, don't forget underoos for the kiddos! I will definitely post a link on my site to your underpants drive.
Well, why not invite someone to stay with you in your underpants? There would be charity in that.I would like to donate, but I'm poor, I can hardley afford to keep the beema on the road!But I'll help with anything underpanty. Thanks, I love you, I order you to delete this, as it's probably ass-inine, you can put your ass in mine though honnnnney! Bye
