PLEASE HOLD THE ADULT CLOTHING DONATIONS

CRW is feeling the pinch of port strikes and delayed or cancelled bookings.
We are asking that you hold the adult clothing donations until such time as we are able to share a few loads.
Our piles are high and we have very little space left to stack and store until we can load out.

If this is a problem for you- please share locally with another group

CHILDREN'S CLOTHING- we will only accept new or very gently used
These are more needed than adult at this time, as we gather for 2025 loads.

We do still have some room for sewing notions and material, baby and children dishes, portable working sewing machines, school and art supplies and first aid supplies.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
