News from The Sharing Shelf

The Sharing Shelf is Westchester's Clothing Bank for Children.
We collect new and gently used clothing for infants, children and teens. That clothing is sorted by quality, size, season and gender then distributed to local, low income children at no cost through nonprofits, schools, hospitals and community groups in Westchester County. The children we serve receive a week's worth of seasonally appropriate clothing matched to their sizing needs. We also host a semi-annual free shopping day for low-income teen girls and each summer distribute new backpacks filled with grade
appropriate school supplies.

We benefitted from a generous donation of new socks from Delivering Good so we are now focused on just underwear. We currently have an acute need for underwear for teen boys and teen girls.
