Clothing Drive for Needy

Advertisement

KENT—On the fourth Sunday of each month, Steve Klots takes a group of South Kent School students to Church Street Eats, the Sunday soup kitchen at Christ Church Cathedral in Hartford.

As part of this effort, he and his crew distribute clothing and he reports that with winter approaching, there is a desperate need for men’s coats (not dress coats), blankets, sweatshirts, sweatpants and pants.

Some women’s clothing is welcome, but about 90 percent of the guests at Church Street Eats are men. 

A collection box is situated in St. Andrew’s Church and he will stop by at least every couple of weeks to collect any donations. Feel free to contact him at klotss@southkentschool.org with questions.
