Clothing Drives in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving.

Where to Donate Time and Items in a Time of Great Need

Not only is it the season for giving, but many people are in great crises right now due to the economy. If you have the ability, donate items or time. Your time and items can make all the difference in the world to a family in need.

The Salvation Army helps an abundance of families. In order to donate, you can either bring to their location, or they will send out a truck to pick up your donations. The Salvation Army in Upper Darby,PA is a source of constant clothing drives, not just Thanksgiving clothing drives. This makes it easier to donate items if you're housebound, or don't drive.

The United Way
The United Way brings help to families in need. Although I couldn't find an Upper Darby,PA address for them, I felt it important to include them. Not only will they help with clothing, but they will bring a family Thanksgiving Dinner. The United Way has very successful thanksgiving drives, and also help people all year round.

To Donate
For volunteering
All of the above are very helpful with their clothing drives, winter coat drives, and Thanksgiving drives. In Upper Darby, PA, if you go to the school and ask for help they will lead you in the right direction. If you want to volunteer, contacting the above places, or the school district, they will be happy to guide you.
