BLSA is sponsoring a Winter Clothing Drive to collect new and lightly-used winter clothing (warm clothing, sweaters, coats, hats, etc.) to be donated to teens and young adults.
All donations will be sent first to the Next Generation Center, a one-stop center located in the Bronx that is designed to meet the needs of young people, ages 14 to 24, transitioning to adulthood, with a special focus on youth in foster care, youth who have aged out of foster care, homeless youth, and other vulnerable young people. We are requesting that donors select age-appropriate clothing that these youth will be most likely to use. Donation Location: Bin located in NE corridor of the first floor of JG (next to classroom JG 106 and by the entrance to Wien Courtyard). Questions? Contact Sheila Adams at sheila.r.adams@gmail.com
