Start the New Year Off Right—Donate to ASC’s Clothing Room
(Released: 17 January 2008)

Chauncy, an ASC client, with ASC Health Advocate Bernice Cowell, following a recent visit to our Clothing Room.
“To someone coming in off the street, even a sweater can feel like a light at the end of the tunnel. ASC’s Clothing Room is like a gift.”— Bernice Cowell, ASC Health Advocate

As frigid temperatures take hold, our Clothing Room is providing relief to clients who lack warm clothing to get through the winter. They also come to us for suitable job-interview attire and clothes for housing interviews or other important appointments.

You can bring warmth into our clients’ lives this winter. If you have gently used, clean clothing you’re no longer wearing, please donate it to ASC. You can also help the people we serve by making a financial donation to ASC.

Men’s clothing—including coats and jackets, pants, shirts, T-shirts, sweaters, shoes, and socks—is especially needed at the moment. Sizes X-large to XXX-large are in urgently short supply.

To donate and arrange a drop-off, please contact Jennifer Samuels at jennifer@ascnyc.org or at 212-645-0875 x 360.
