So I am graduating with a degree in Human Services in a few weeks and would like to put my knowledge to use and I also need job experience. I am looking into opening up a clothing bank in Jersey City. Is anyone aware of anything they have like this? I know that in Morristown at a church they run one, once a week in a basement. Anyone is welcome and it is set up like a thrift shop.
Essentially it is to help the homeless and others who are less fortunate who cannot otherwise afford clothing. I know I would have to set up some type of rules so everyone isnt coming in a packing bags upon bags of clothing. Anyways does anyone know if any place in JC offers this? I am not talking about dress for success, these places require referrals, which we will not.
Also does anyone know of a church who would like to commit one day a week or every other week (on a weekend) and some space to this cause?
And if anyone has donations I am looking to get started on this ASAP
