Westfield Area YMCA Hosts Clothing Drive

Press release from Westfield Area YMCA:

September 18, 2020

The Westfield Area Y’s clothing drive in June was so successful we decided to host another one! Maybe you just finished cleaning out some closets, or maybe it’s a good excuse to start channeling your inner Marie Kondo. Either way, on Thursday, October 8 from 7:30am-2:00pm, we invite you to drop off clothes, shoes, belts, handbags, curtains, towels, bedding, stuffed animals and small plastic toys on the tarp in the parking lot of the Main Y, 220 Clark Street. Please note: we cannot accept pots and pans, books, electronics, furniture or appliances.

All goods will be sorted and shipped by A & E Clothing Corp. to second hand stores worldwide.

Proceeds benefit the Y's financial assistance program which ensures that no one who is experiencing a bona fide financial hardship and lives or works in Westfield, Cranford, Garwood or Mountainside is turned away for inability to pay for Y programs or memberships. The majority of awards enable participation in the Y’s early learning and school age child care programs.

Questions? Please email bcohen@westfieldynj.org or call 908-301-9622 x240.
