During cold weather, Code Purple sees an increase in the request for cold weather clothing from the homeless. As you clean out your closets, keep the homeless in mind. Code Purple always needs adult shirts, jeans, hoodies, jackets, socks, gloves, hats, etc. Currently, there is large need for smaller men’s sizes–for example, men’s jeans size 28-32.
Please remember that, in Dover, long underwear is the most needed but least donated article of clothing in homeless shelters.
