Friends of
Night People is in especial need for men’s clothing for this upcoming winter.
“We have received a lot of clothing thus far
from donations but for some strange reason are not getting a lot of men’s
clothing,” said Barbra Williot, a volunteer leader for the organization.
This
reality is highlighted inside of the organization’s storage room where the
clothing is sorted out and hung up in different sections. On the men’s clothing
rack, there are no more than three jackets hung at the moment.
This
problem is a grave concern for the homeless men who depend on the Friends of
Night People for the necessary clothing for the cold weather.
“We hope
that we can get more men clothing before this winter arrives,” Williot said.
The Friends
of Night People located on 394 Hudson St. and is open for donations from 10
a.m. to 7 p.m. By Darius Crolle and Shavella Saint Preux
