The 13th annual Underwear Open House put on by the Kalamazoo’s Ministry with Community helps provide those in need with underwear, socks and other basic necessities many of us take for granted, reports the Kalamazoo Gazette. People bring new, unwrapped items such as underwear, socks, gloves, hats, T-shirts, sweatshirts and sweatpants in adult sizes up to 5XL to the Lawrence Education Center at Borgess Medical Center for distribution.
