The Sharing Shelf
http://www.sharingshelf.org
The Sharing Shelf is Westchester's Clothing Bank for Children founded to address clothing insecurity in the local community. We collect new and gently used clothing for infants, children and teens. That clothing is sorted by quality, size, season and gender then distributed to local, low income children at no cost through nonprofits, schools, hospitals and community groups in Westchester County. The children we serve receive a week's worth of seasonally appropriate clothing matched to their sizing needs. We also host a semi-annual free shopping day for low-income teen girls called Teen Boutique and each summer launch our Backpacks to School initiative to distribute new backpacks filled with grade appropriate school supplies. The Sharing Shelf is an available resource to any nonprofit in Westchester County serving low-income children.
