I am working with PIA and ADAMS Center in Sterling and have collected over thousands of items, mashallah. Many people are giving with good intentions but there are people that during the month of Ramadan, are cleaning out closets. And what I mean is, OLD USED UNDERWEAR

We have gone through boxes and have felt disgusted with what people donate. I say if you can give something that you have ..please do so..but if you don't then it's okay.

We requested NO CLOTHES except winter sweaters, jackets and coats. But half of the boxes and bags we went threw is something you wouldnt have your kids wear. Its very upsetting to see people giving trash.

We said repeatedly only gently used items are fine but not stuff ripped..the reason i am saying this because get the word out to people because its wasting time and valuable space that we need for tents, medical supplies and blankets..please help in spreading the word....

Give what you would wear and have your kids wear...NO CLOTHES PLEASE..actually we are not taking any more items except for tents, medical supplies! thats it..

thanks
