Donate Clothes, Shoes, Toys For Drive At Chester Fire Company

CHESTER, NJ — If you find clothes during your spring cleaning that you'd like to donate, the Chester Volunteer Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary is holding their annual clothing drive.

There is time to donate, as it runs through the spring and summer — with the drive ending July 31. The Ladies Auxiliary will receive money for every pound collected, and the items will go to those in need in third-world countries.

Donated items must be in good, useable condition and preferably placed in 13-gallon kitchen trash bags.

Acceptable items include clothes and shoes; accessories including belts, purses, backpacks, or baseball hats; soft or hard toys that are 14 inches or smaller; and linens such as bedsheets, bedspreads, blankets, curtains, and towels. No high heels or winter items are needed.

All items must be placed in the donation bin, located in the corner of the big back parking lot of the Chester Volunteer Fire Company (86 Main Street). Access the parking lot from Warren Street; the bin is located by the dumpster and recycling bins.
