Hawthorne High School’s SHARE club is currently collecting clothing to be donated to the homeless community of New York City.

The clothes will be distributed by Midnight Run, a volunteer organization dedicated to finding common ground between the housed and the homeless.  Midnight Run works with hundreds of religious communities and schools of all kinds to distribute food, clothing, blankets and personal care items to the homeless poor on the streets of New York City.

SHARE Head, Mina Di Filippo commented, “It is especially important for us to contribute now, during the winter, when the weather drops to such unbearably cold temperatures.”

SHARE is collecting the following items to bring along on our run.  Please drop off your donations at Mr. Ward’s room by Friday, February 5th.

• Durable pants. Large men’s sizes are preferred. We will bring a few women’s pants, as well.
• Warm coats. Large and extra large sizes
• Tube Socks
• Underpants. Jockey style. Sizes 32 through 42
• Sweaters, sweatshirts (especially hooded sweatshirts) and long-sleeve shirts. Large and extra large. Dark colors preferred.
