Our parent company, Utica Center for Development INC., is currently struggling. Like many across New York, they are being impacted by the extremely high cost of utilities. These rising expenses, combined with a long and harsh winter, are creating significant challenges in their ability to continue providing vital services to veterans and their families, youth, and individuals with developmental disabilities and autism.
We understand that many are facing similar hardships. With that in mind, we are asking for your support in a simple but meaningful way—by donating any unwanted clothing and footwear. Regardless of condition, these items can be turned into funding that directly supports our programs.
They accept all clothing items, including socks, hats, ties, and even underwear, as well as all types of footwear.
