E. Frances is partnering with the RI Buy Nothing Day Coat Exchange to collect items for the Spare a Pair sock and underwear drive through April 1st. Socks and underwear are among the most requested items by folks living unhoused and in shelters. We are collecting brand new, unopened socks (the warmer and thicker the better!) and underwear for adults of all genders and sizes (S-5x).

This year, we’re also supporting our friends at Red.Lined Period to collect menstrual products! They’re a local grassroots organization dedicated to fighting period insecurity by providing free menstrual products to youth and people across Rhode Island.

Where to Drop off:
E. Frances Paper
114 W. Main Road (corner of W. Main and Dexter St.)
Black & white building; use the entrance on Dexter St. under the black & white awning.

Not local? No problem! You can buy online and have your goods shipped direct to our warehouse- please make sure your items will arrive by April 1st! Our shipping address is: E. Frances Paper, Attn: Spair-a-Pair, 114 W. Main Rd, Middletown, RI 02842.

Items we are accepting:

We’re also collecting the following INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED items to benefit Red.Lined Period:
