Oklahoma City Salvation Army Providing New Undergarments for Children in School

The Salvation Army Central Oklahoma Social Services will provide new undergarments for children, grades K-12, beginning Monday, October 17, 2016 at 9 a.m. at 1001 N. Pennsylvania, Oklahoma City, OK 73107.

In the classroom, certain school supplies are required to help the child succeed. Many organizations, churches and nonprofits assist families with these items. While these tools are important to the child’s success, more personal items children need are often overlooked. 

The Salvation Army saw a need and they’re helping children be confident at school by providing families with brand new undergarments. Each child will receive three to four new pairs of socks and underwear.

To receive new undergarments for your child, please visit The Salvation Army Central Oklahoma’s office at 1001 N. Pennsylvania during the noted times and bring the required documents, listed below.
