Hundreds of migrants have arrived in Denver in recent weeks, bringing the total to more than 600 men, women and children. While community organizers have worked to create comfortable conditions, Denver officials are calling on the community’s goodwill to help provide donations. Winter clothing is top of the list.
Clothing needed:
- New men’s underwear
- New women’s underwear
- New women’s sports bras
- Long-sleeve shirts (men’s, women’s and unisex)
- Jeans (men’s and women’s with a special need for size medium)
- New socks (men’s and women’s)
- New sweatshirts and sweatpants (sizes small, medium and large for men and women)
- Closed-toe gym shoes (men’s, women’s, boys, girls, infants)
- Shoelaces
- Winter coats and pullovers (men, women, children and infants)
Officials said there is a special need for men’s and women’s medium sizes, as well as winter clothes.
A drop-off location has been set up at Iglesia Ciudad de Dios, 5255 W. Warren Ave., in Harvey Park, where donations will be accepted Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 4-7 p.m.
