Clothes-Pin, a soon to be 501(3)(c), donates cast off marathon clothing to homeless shelters.
In 2007, Michael Resnic and his daughter, Madeline, watched the Philadelphia Marathon. As the race started, the runners shed clothing: hats, gloves, sweatpants, you name it. Watching the cast off clothing being placed into sanitation trucks, they were inspired. That year, they grabbed about fifty pieces of clothing, and donated them to a local homeless shelter. By 2009, Michael, Madeline and thirty other volunteers donated six thousand pieces of clothing.
This year- who knows? But we're trying to find people to help. Know of a marathon? Have a group of friends? Lets talk! |
