Midnight Run Asks You to Spring Clean Your Closet!
The United Methodist Church of New Canaan gives clothes and food to homeless on the streets of NYC, as part of Midnight Run.
It's late, around midnight, the van turns the corner and parks in the designated spot. It could be a muggy, noisy night in July or a frigid, quiet night in January. Regardless of the weather, the van is full of food, clothes and blankets for the homeless living on the streets of New York City. The van has 4-6 volunteers, makes 8-10 stops between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. This is Midnight Run.
The United Methodist Church of New Canaan (UMC) does 5 Midnight Runs a year. Their next Run is May 31 and they are asking the community for donations of new and clean used men's clothing: shirts, pants, sweatshirts, socks, underwear and casual shoes. Blankets are also needed. Please consider donating the clothes and blankets you are no longer using.
Donations can be dropped off at the UMC office, anytime. 165 South Avenue, New Canaan 203-966-2666 umcofnewcanaan.org
