struggling to just get by. The homeless in our community have a constant need of
clothing. Please consider donating any used clothing to those less fortunate. The only
requirement is that the clothes are clean. All clothing collected will be donated to local
homeless shelters and programs. All clothing can be dropped off at the Boca Pointe
Community Association 0ffice at 6909 SW 18th Street, suite A120. If you are unable
to go there please email Paul Hart at paulhart46@gmail.com and I will arrange to have
the clothing picked up at your residence. Thank you for your generosity and care for
those in need.
