I am looking for indiviuals to arrange and direct clothing drives for the homeless population in Orange County. At this time with the warm weather we are in need of men's sweat shirts with hoods and light weight jackets. We need sizes Med-Lg-Xl-XXl and up. We need men's sweats and pants sz. 30 to 50. Shorts are now needed and in the same sizes as the pants. Longer, cargo type are more desired. We need back packs and tote bags. We need sample size toiletries and disposal razors. New underwear and socks are always appreciated for men and women. Men's jeans and casual type pants all sizes are very much needed. Rain ponchos and umbrellas and small tarps are so needed during the rainy season.
The other item we are in desparate need of are casual shoes for men. Athletic type shoes would be the best. Gently used in sizes 7 and up.
This can be done in your school, workplace, church, neighborhood or any other ideas you have to collect men's clothing.
We accept used clothing just ask that it be clean and not have holes or stains.
We also accept funds to buy the needs that are not donated. Please make your checks

About Clothing the Homeless
Location:
c/o Journey Christian Church, 4849 Alton Parkway., Irvine, CA 92604, US
Mission Statement
Our goal is to meet the necessary needs of the homeless population with adequate clothing for the different seasons and elements of weather. We also want to provide decent, clean clothing to give these people a boost in their already low self esteem. This will help in scheduling and appearing at interviews if they look presentable. We believe with the amount of clothing that is thrown away every day there is no reason people are going without decent, basic clothing. Our goal is to distribute them to the people who are in need and not drop them off somewhere thinking it will get done.
Description
We have been going into the city of Santa Ana for over 12 years now, and have recently started distributing in the city of Costa Mesa too.
We give bags and bags of clothing to the Salvation Army Emergency Shelter and Isaiah House (a shelter for women.) Plus WHW an organization that gives people business attire clothing for job interviews and jobs.
We provide clothing when requested for Skid Row homeless and other areas in Southern Calif. We have provided clothing to many American Indian Reservations.
In between are mobile distributions we are busy collecting, sorting, washing, and marking sizes on each article. We store all of our donations in a storage facility.
