ANNOUNCEMENT: We are pausing clothing donations until October 15. Over the last few months, we have seen a significant increase in clothing donations at WayForward from our generous community. While we appreciate these donations, we have now reached our space capacity to store these clothes. Because of this, we encourage you to hold further donations or take them to another community partner. We are taking this pause to ensure that we have enough room in our warehouse to receive food to distribute to our community as demand continues to increase. Food donations are still greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you for your support and understanding! https://lnkd.in/dcqV8DV5
