Low end items are sold to make rags. Medium and high end clothing goes to a store in Carteret where things are sold for VERY low prices. They are also shipped to countries such as South America, Africa, India, Central America and Poland, where they are sold for very little money. This allows the stores to employ people as well. A&E clothing donates approximately $30,000 every year to the Monmouth/Ocean Food Bank and Calvary Lighthouse House of Blessing. This is a great opportunity for everyone concerned! It helps you to get rid of clothing you no longer want; it helps Morning Star financially ($60 a month adds up to $1440, which is much more than our usual clothing drive profit of $500 per year); it helps those in need by offering clothing for a very low price and by employing people to sell it. So, tell your friends, family, and neighbors.  Everyone is welcome to use these bins.  If you find the bins full, please contact Priscilla Powell (609-971-3435).        ...............................................................................................................................................................................
