HANOVER — Clothing and fashion accessories for men, women and children will be collected as Employment Horizons holds its annual fall clothing drive from Wednesday, September 28 to Friday, September 30.
The drive offers residents an opportunity to reclaim valuable storage space 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 below fourteen inches in size, as well as household linens such as blankets, sheets and curtains but no fabric scraps or carpet.
All items should be placed in well-tied plastic bags. Shoes, boots and sneakers will also be accepted. No single shoes should be dropped off.
The clothing will be turned over to a company that will in turn pay Employment Horizons for each pound collected. All donated items will be distributed to needy families overseas. The goal is to collect 5,000 pounds.
Bags may be dropped off between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m from Wednesday, September 28 to Friday, September 30 at Employment Horizons, 10 Ridgedale Avenue, Cedar Knolls. 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.
