Warm clothing from your over-crowded closet may help another person in this agonizing cold....How!
You provide the clothes and Sunshine NY Rotary and Westchester NY Rotary will make sure they get to those who need it.
It's a joint endeavor between the two sister Rotary Clubs.
On February 9, a group of rotarians from both the clubs will organize a clothing and food distribution camp in Poughkeepsie, New York, where many of the Afghan and Syrian refugees and their families have been resettled and are in need of help from the community.
All the collected clothes will be displayed and the winter affected people of the locality will find and pick the correct ones for them. Volunteers will prepare food packets for those who are subsisting on minimal nutrition.
The warm clothing drive is ongoing . A good number of good quality clothes have already been collected and ready to be distributed. We are collecting more, as the needs are continuing.
If you want to contribute your gently used warm or cold weather clothes of any size, please send let us know by February 4. Those who pick up your clothing will give them a new life and will appreciate your kindness. We know you will make sure your clothes are in good condition and are washed and hygienic enough to reuse. As for the Food, donations of non-perishable items or money to buy the food will be most useful.
