NY Clothing Drive

Everyone has extra stuff to clean out of their closet, but no easy way to donate the bags of clothes. For that reason my friend David Fraga and I organized the New York Clothing Drive, where we come pick up your old items for free in the NY metro area.

It is a simple idea that has grown over the past few weeks since we launched the site, and we are now scheduled to pickup over 100 bags of clothes, and adding more every day.

If you are interested in getting your items picked up please sign up – or if you want to volunteer please get in touch.

When: Saturday February 6th, 2010.

How: Make a donation here to schedule a pick-up.  All proceeds will go to New York Cares.

Help us spread the word!

    I'm so happy you guys are doing this. I've been wanting to donate some of my clothes for a long time and you gave me the perfect reason to stop procrastinating.

    Thanks for signing up – we greatly appreciate it.

    Has been a fun logistics problem to solve in looking at the pickup maps for
    Saturday – you should get your time window notification soon (2-3 hour
    window for Saturday)

    Keep up the good work guys. my friends did a similar thing in Chicago and it's definitely worth it.

  4. EricFriedman Says:

    Thanks Ryan – sorry we can't make it out there for pickup!
