From Facebook:
Help Us Spend Less Time Sorting and More Time Supporting Kids! We LOVE our generous community, but we have a little favor to ask!
Children In Need, Inc. serves kids from babies to teenagers, and while teenagers may wear adult sizes, we're finding ourselves sorting through a LOT of adult clothing that our teens wouldn't wear. #shoulderpads
With busy client days and a surge in emergency requests, our staff and volunteers are spending more time sorting clothes than getting them onto shelves for the kids who need them!
So, two little requests (pretty please!):
1. Please focus your clothing donations on children's clothing and clothing that teenagers would actually wear. (If your teenager would look at it and say, "Absolutely not," that's probably a good sign!)
2. Label your bags! White bags? Grab a Sharpie! Dark bags? A little masking tape works wonders! Just tell us what's inside and the sizes.
We promise we're not trying to be picky. We're just trying to keep up with the growing need in our community without getting buried in bags of clothing!
Thank you for helping us help kids!
