Plainfield Action Services seeks coats, children's Holiday items

Plainfield Action Services [PAS] is seeking clothing and gift items for Holiday distribution.

"With weather dipping into the 20's, winter is with us even if the calendar shows we have a couple of weeks to go," says Plainfield Mayor Al McWilliams, "and warm winter coats and jackets are very important for PAS's clients."

New or good used coats and jackets in all sizes are welcome donations for PAS clients in need of warm winter wear, according to PAS Director Rick Smiley.

PAS is also asking residents to share with those less fortunate by donating new toys and clothing items for children to be distributed in the runup to Christmas.

Children's clothing items of all sizes are needed, especially warm shirts, sweaters and gloves or mittens. Size tags should be left on the items.

Toys of all kinds are also welcome, as are donations of gift wrap, ribbon and other trimmings.

All donated items should be delivered unwrapped, so that staff can match with their clients' needs when items are wrapped by volunteers.

Items should be delivered to Plainfield Action Services which is located on the ground floor of the City Hall Annex, 510 Watchung Avenue.

For more information, or to arrange to drop off items, call Patty Boone at Plainfield Action Services, (908) 753-3519, Mon-Fri, 9 AM to 4 PM.
