Please Help

Prior to COVID, Boca Pointe residents were donating their extra clothing to the
homeless. The homeless shelters are now able to accept clothing again. Please bring
any clean clothing that you would like to donate. The drop off location is the BPCA
office located at 6909 SW 18th St. Suite A120 in the Boardwalk shopping plaza. Due
to the generosity of Boca Pointe residents, many homeless have been given very much
needed clothes. Let’s continue helping those less fortunate. Thank you!! 
