Donations & Volunteers Needed...

Family and Friends,

We often think about giving to those less fortunate at the holidays, even though neither hunger nor the need for usable clothing are seasonal issues, partner with us to collecting clothing from friends, family members, children's school or at work. In the spirit of "giving back" the 2011 Family Reunion Committee has chosen the Ronald McDonald House Charities and Christ House as our charities of choice this year. To make this work, we need your help. Start today! Get 5 large trash bags or boxes and go through your closet and start getting rid of unworn, unwanted and never worn clothing that someone else desperately needs in order to transition back into society.

Please note that we will not be able to provide personal receipts for tax purposes these in-kind donations are strictly "from the heart".

Think about giving when your:
cleaning out your closet at the end of the year!
transitional from summer to winter!
after you have just lost/gained weight!
buying the next size up or down!
you don't like your birthday or anniversary gift and refuse to wear it!
you ate too much during the holidays and no longer fit into those slacks or cute black dress!
you just had a baby!


If you simply don't have time to give, then provide a "one-time" gift on this site to the charity of your choice. Whatever amount you decide is appreciated!

We need your help in collecting (new, used or partially worn clothing) to donate to the Christ House homeless shelter in Washington, D.C., please start collecting clothing for men and women now until our event!
