Clothing Drive Guide

Midnight Run relies on its friends and member groups to contribute clothes and other goods.

We send between ten and twenty-five crews into the city every week to distribute goods to the homeless poor. There are never enough material goods to satisfy the demand we see on the streets.

We've put together this Clothing Drive Guide to help you organize an effort within your church, synagogue, school or community group.

Midnight Run sees far more men than women (and thankfully we rarely see children). Therefore, we need only men's clothing. The most needed items are seasonal men's casual wear.

We also accept donations of towels and blankets.

If a group wishes to do a clothing drive, we have discovered it is most effective to target one or two items. You end up with a lot more usable clothing and less junk than if you do a general clothing drive.
