Submitted: Here at the Pickup G’mach, we’re gearing up for Spring. We’ve begun hanging current-style used clothing, still in very good condition.
We operate a “boutique” and the neighborhood Kollel families come “shop” for free, selecting the clothing that you generously give us, helping them to get your beautiful, still new-looking clothing (with the matching shoes, socks, accessories, etc.) without the enormous expense.
The Pickup Gmach is operated is under the haskama of R’ Yaakov Forscheimer, Shlita.
We are a free pick-up service for current gently-used or new children’s clothing.
How YOU can help us
If you have clothing you’d still put on your kids (still in good condition-no stains-and is current and wasn’t stored for a while), we’ll come pick it up. Put it together with the matching accessories/hosiery you bought for it…and now you just made someone’s yom tov!
What We’re All About
If you spend time, money and effort on your children’s clothing, would like others to appreciate it to its fullest extent without it getting ruined (wrinkled, rained on…) in the donation process, AND would rather it be picked up, rather than hauling bag after bag from your trunk to an already filled bin, then the Pickup Gmach is for you.
What We Take:
Kids clothing, still stylish and in good condition.
We take desirable clothing, not unwanted clothing. Nothing stained, pilled or washed out, items having been passed down multiple times, etc.
Please understand this is not what we’re looking for because it will not look acceptable for another use for (regular) Lakewood families. Simla, a recycling company that takes unusable clothing will pick up all that. You can text to arrange a pick up at 732-746-5533.
HOW TO DONATE TO THE PICKUP GMACH-3 Easy Steps:
- Put a bag together of size 0-16 girls/ 0-12 boys, current and stylish, excellent condition clothing (from a season or two ago, at most)
- Put in a garbage bag, seal (from rain), and label “Gmach”
- Place outside and THEN text us with your address once it’s out at 848-525-6961 (TEXT-ONLY line for pickups). Leave it out until picked up. Do not take it back in!
Pickups are done Sunday-Thursday night. Please don’t text late Thursday night or Friday.
Tizku l’mitzvos and thank you, of course!
Note: We are a small scale gmach run by volunteers out of a basement location. We make sure to give all our extras to other Lakewood gmachim (pre-sorted, only the nice things), so they can help more people than we are able to service.
You may contact us by text to inquire if we have any bags of free extra clothing our gmach isn’t using for the taking.
