Charity Clothing Drive

Clothing and fashion accessories for men, women and children will be collected as Employment Horizons holds its annual spring clothing drive April 29, 30 and May 1.  The spring clothing drive offers an opportunity to tackle the task of spring cleaning and reclaim valuable storage space while helping to raise money to assist people with disabilities.

 

Items to be collected also include bicycles, stuffed animals and hard toys, such as dolls and action figures, as well as fabric household items: carpets, blankets, bed linens and curtains. All hard toys must fit in a box measuring 24” x 24” x 21,” and no large toys or board games will be accepted. All items should be placed in well-tied plastic bags. Shoes, boots and sneakers will be accepted but must be separated and bagged with footwear only.

All donated items will be distributed to needy families overseas. The clothing will be turned over to a company that will in turn pay Employment Horizons for each pound collected.
