We are hosting a clothing drive for 12 refugees who need clothes upon their arrival in America as well as refugees who had to leave everything behind and need clothes. If you have new or very lightly used clothing with no tears, holes or stains please drop them off at 22 Winding Brook Way Edison NJ 08820 or email teens4refugees@gmail.com and we can arrange a pick up. These clothes will make sure that there is one less thing for families to worry about. We need clothes for junior girls and boys between the ages of 7-10.
