Our Mission
Drift Light is built on the belief that doing business and doing good are not mutually exclusive. We’ve found that we can solve complex problems by breaking them down. The issue that we’ve dedicated ourselves to is improving the lives of the nearly 600,000 men, women, and children currently homeless in the US (Source: 2015 Congressional Report on Homelessness). This number is staggering, and the problem is extraordinarily complex. So let’s start small.
We were surprised to find that socks and underwear are the most needed, yet least donated items at shelters across the US. It’s amazing that something as small as a fresh pair of underwear can have a large impact. So we set out to come up with a sustainable, scalable way to provide basic necessities to homeless shelters, and in the long-term, provide jobs to those transitioning out of homelessness. Enter Drift Light.
While in her last semester at Duke, our founder combined her experience in fashion and volunteering at homeless shelters to create a beautiful line of underwear thatdonates basic socks and underwear for every purchase made. In an effort to make this idea a reality, Willa entered the Duke Changeworks Startup Competition and ended up winning. The judges were excited about the concept and believed she could quickly take the concept from an idea to a reality. One year later, we’re ready to officially launch the company.
All contributions go toward two main things: fulfilling product orders and donations to shelters across the US. Our first donation events will be in Raleigh-Durham, NC,Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN, and Los Angeles, CA. We call our donation model One for Many, because we’re able to donate up to a week’s worth of basic socks and underwear for every purchase made. So when you buy one, you give many.
The rest of the funds will go toward our first Drift Light purchase order. We have manufacturing lined up and are ready to start production so you can get your new favorite undies. All of our pieces are handmade in Los Angeles by family-owned shops. We are proud to use high-quality, eco-friendly materials. By using bamboo cotton, we’re able to create incredibly soft underwear from a renewable resource. Additionally, our shipping materials are selected by our Sustainability Consultant, Serena, to be both cost-effective and eco-friendly. We are committed to doing the most good.

The cotton has a generous stretch, so each style and size fits a variety of bodies.
