40 Days of Donations Challenge: A Clothing Drive for Our Community

This Lent, clear out your closet while helping local families. For 40 days starting March 5, set aside clothing you no longer need and donate it after Easter. One bag or many—every donation makes an impact!

Everyone is welcome to participate!

  • Gather clothing you no longer wear. Each day, from March 5 through April 17, add items to a donation bag (or bags!).
  • The week of April 21-25, from 9 am – 1 pm, bring your bags to Friend, Inc. (658 Noble St., Kutztown).
  • OR take them to Community Aid in Temple and use our code 50228. Friend, Inc. earns funding based on the weight of donations!

What We Accept:

  • New and gently used clothing
  • Please avoid used socks and underwear

Your donations support Friend, Inc. while keeping clothing out of landfills. Thank you for being part of this effort!
