CEDAR KNOLLS — Clothing and fashion accessories for men, women and children will be collected as Employment Horizons holds its annual fall clothing drive September 30 to October 2. The fall clothing drive offers an opportunity to get a fresh start for fall while helping to raise money to assist people with disabilities.
Items to be collected also include stuffed animals and hard toys, such as dolls and action figures (must be below 14” in size), as well as household linens (blankets, sheets, curtains, etc – no fabric scraps or carpet). All items should be placed in well-tied plastic bags. Shoes, boots and sneakers will be accepted. No single shoes, please.
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. Our goal is to collect 5,000 pounds!
Bags may be dropped off at Employment Horizons, Inc. at 10 Ridgedale Avenue, Cedar Knolls from September 30 to October 2, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Donations are to be placed in a box truck marked “Clothing Drive” located in the Employment Horizons rear parking lot. Items may not be dropped off until Wednesday.
Employment Horizons is a local not-for-profit organization which serves individuals with disabilities, empowering them to earn a paycheck and live as productive citizens in the greater Morris County area.
