Greenburgh Fall, Winter Clothing Drive Overwhelming Success

GREENBURGH, NY — There was an overwhelming response to Greenburgh’s call for fall and winter clothing for asylum seekers temporarily housed in Ardsley.

Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner and Ardsley Mayor Nancy Kaboolian said there was a massive outpouring of generosity at Greenburgh Town Hall.

“When we announced the clothing drive, we thought that the drive would last till the end of the month,” they said. “But the response exceeded our goals and we have more clothing than we need.”

The extra clothing will be donated to Midnight Run or other charities, they said.

Now the need has shifted to reflective vests and helmets for the asylum seekers.

Feiner said that this past summer many residents donated bicycles to the asylum seekers.

The reflective vests and helmets can be dropped off at Greenburgh Town Hall, 177 Hillside Ave.
