    Clothing Donations That Directly Go Towards Helping People

    Dear Mia,

    I came across your church online when I was searching for places in Newton that accept clothing donations. Does the church provide the clothing to anyone that needs it?  Or are proceeds from selling the clothing used to help support programs?  I am in the process of cleaning my apartment and would love to be able to donate some clothes.  Please let me know if you are accepting clothing and where I should donate.

    Many thanks,
    Kari

    Hi Kari,

    I blog on Newton at ILoveNewton.com but I am afraid I am not affiliated with a church at the moment.  I found a link to Newton which lists all the places that takes recycling. I hope this is useful to you.
