Clothing Drive for Homeless Vets

There are much needed resources for local Vets serviced through the New England Center for Homeless Veterans. A recent plumbing problem caused a flood in their basement which damaged 100% of their supplies for female Vets and increased their need for donations to new levels.  Any contributions you can make would be most appreciated and here is a quick reminder about what works best:

·         Clothing items can be for both men and women but the need for women is especially urgent now
·         All sizes are needed
·         Donations must be in decent, gently used condition with no holes or rips
·         The clothes can range from casual (tees, sneakers, sweats) to professional work clothes (dress shoes, suits, dresses, skirts, pants, and tops)
·         Other items such as toiletries are a big help too

Donations will be collected up until March 8th and you can drop them off in the canteen labeled New England Center for Homeless Vetereans. Sheila or Mark will pick them up.

Thanks in advance for your generous donations!
