WINTER CLOTH DONATION 2K14

When winter rolls around, for the needy and homeless, it’s like the flowers bloom no more. To them, it feels like the oceans reduce to lakes. As we sit at home, sipping on hot chocolate, wrapping ourselves with a warm blanket and watching re-runs of ‘Friends’ on TV, the needy search the streets looking for shelter, clothing and food. 

      It’s getting cold outside, and there are people in our community who are in desperate need of warm clothing. In the spirit of the holidays, we are collecting. 

      What do you do with your old clothes? What’s old for us is a basic necessity for some. If getting rid of clothing, DONATE is the word to remember. Homeless people and low income families need all types of gently used clothing, particularly warm clothes and coats for cold weather, formal clothes (to attend job interviews), kids' clothing (they grow out of them so fast!), and shoes (which frequently wear out).
