CHARITY: Clothing Drive
This Wednesday, December 17 from 12:00pm – 4:00pm, head to College Walk for three ways to spread a little cheer to neighbors in need this holiday season:
Bring your unwanted clothing and textiles to donate to Wearable Collections. They will accept: any used clean clothing, including shoes, hats, handbags, and belts; household items such as curtains, linens, and towels; and clean clothing or textiles in any condition. Your old, ripped jeans can be recycled into new pillow stuffing! Wearable Collections will distribute wearable items to people who need them, and recycle the unwearables, enabling them to raise money for charitable organizations.
Gently used winter coats will be collected to benefit New York Cares’ 20th Annual Coat Drive. The donated coats are distributed to thousands of men, women, and children in New York City who would otherwise go without this winter.
Non-perishable food items and toiletries (like shampoo, soap, shaving cream,
etc.) will be collected for donation to our neighbors at Broadway Community, Inc. (BCI) at 601 West 114th Street. Their mission is to provide emergency food, clothing, and shelter to those in need, as well as long-term support aimed at healing the body, mind, and spirit. BCI impacts the lives of hundreds of people with meals, showers, shelter, counseling, healing workshops, internships, and training.
If you’d like to support any or all of these great causes, please bring your donations to College Walk on Wednesday, December 17 from 12:00pm – 4:00pm.
Wishing you a happy, healthy, and warm holiday season. Brought to you by the Office of Environmental Stewardship, Housing Services, and Public Safety.
