Share the Warmth

'Tis the time of year when T Shirts are packed away to make room for sweaters! This is also a great time to pass along your gently used clothing to those who are in great need of warm clothing.

An unfortunate irony of our society is that while some are lamenting not having enough closet space for all of their clothes, there are a large number of people facing the reality of not having any warm clothes to wear! Many of these people are families with children who end up without a warm clothes to wear to school.

However, by passing along your gently used clothing everyone wins: closet space is no longer limited, there might even be room for new purchases; and someone who had been shivering in the cold now has warm clothing! Furthermore, there are lots of organizations in almost every community that will gladly take in your used clothing and redistribute it to those in need. Some will even come to your door to pick it up!

A partial list of organizations that can give your used clothes, as well was other items, a new life include:

Canadian Diabetes Association
Goodwill
Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy
Salvation Army
