Clothing drives today for victims of West Philly fire
17 January 2011
We know of two clothing drives for the victims of the Jan. 10 fire at
Windermere Court Apartments in West Philadelphia.
Local 44 (44th and Spruce) will set up tables along Spruce Street
outside of the pub to collect clothing donations from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Try to bring things that would be useful to folks now. So winter
clothes would be best. Fire victims should stop by to get what they
need.
A reader, Natalie, tipped us off to the clothing drive at Drexel’s
Alpha Pi Lambda (33rd and Powelton). They are accepting cold weather
clothing for fire victims from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The organization will
accept donations of gently used hats, gloves, scarves, jackets and
blankets at its house at 33rd and Powelton. Those who cannot give
clothing can donate cash, which will be used to buy clothes for the
drive. Those displaced by the fire who need clothing should stop by.
