An effort to help the homeless and others in need in the Quad Cities has had such a successful year, for the first time, it's going to hold a second distribution.
The group is called Underwear Because We Care, and it began collecting new underwear, including t-shirts, bras, and socks four years ago and giving it to various shelters and other organizations.
Group chair, Grant Curtis, says in their first year they collected several hundred items and gave them to nine local agencies.
Their most recent campaign, in October, brought in 46-hundred items of new underwear, and they were given to 25 organizations. The group is planning another distribution for February.
