Our mission: Providing excellent condition, current styles of used (or new) kids clothing for struggling Lakewood families by collecting your high-end children’s clothing, handling it with care and passing it straight into the hands of someone who will appreciate it and wear it well.
We accept donations of clothing from the past year so it is up to date and dignified. Clothing gets processed within a day or so.
Your donated children’s outfits are easily visible amongst other current style clothing so families don’t have to search for the few “nice things” interspersed with styles from years back. We hang with care; attaching pajama and clothing sets together top with bottom, and passing on matching sets together so others with those sizes can enjoy again.
We work by private appointment only and do not charge since all work is done by volunteers.
Families greatly appreciate the beautiful clothing you give, and you give it with the knowledge it’s going to real people, ONLY within your community (not cleaning ladies, etc.), who are excited about it and will wear it right.
Unfortunately, the reality is that the standards are higher than what they used to be, and mothers who have tight budgets can meet stiff resistance when they come home with second-hand stuff that looks second-hand. The pickup gmach solves this need.
What we take: We take boys’ clothing sizes 0-18, and girls’ clothing and accessories, from 0 through teen sizes and layette.
(Please avoid giving any stained, pilled, torn, ripped clothing, jackets missing hoods… Think: “Is this in good enough condition that my friend will feel proud to dress her children in this?” Any clothing in less than perfect condition will not look acceptable for another use. We are not a ‘bin’ operation.)
Weekly Pickup Schedule: Motzei Shabbos up until Thursday night.
How it works:
1) Place current style, good condition children’s clothing in a bag, seal with a strip of tape in case of rain. Think: “Is this in good enough condition that my friend will feel proud to dress her children in this?”
2) Only once out, text your address to 848 525 6961 (PICKUP ONLY text line) and you will get a confirmation text.
Bags will be picked up within 24 hours.
Please leave bags out until picked up! Do not bring back in!
Any questions, comments or concerns can be directed to [email protected]. Any excess items are donated to local gmachim so many others can benefit since due to lack of space, regretfully we cannot service the entire Lakewood at this time.
The Pickup gmach is under the auspices of R’ Forscheimer Shlita.
