Clean Out Your Closet for a Cause with Employment Horizons' Drive

Clothing and fashion accessories for men, women and children will be collected as Employment Horizons holds its annual fall clothing drive September 30 – 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 but must be separated and bagged with footwear only. 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 lbs!

Bags may be dropped off at Employment Horizons, Inc. at 10 Ridgedale Avenue in Cedar Knolls September 30 – 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 Tuesday.

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.
