Volunteers Jane Joiner, Noreen Begley, Leslie Singer, and Carol Hengerle went through 18 boxes of new adult clothing from Good360. The group folded, organized, and tagged 560 items. Once sorted, the items provided by Good360 were transported to the JFS Children’s Clothing Closet, located at the FPS resource room.
Good360’s mission is to transform lives by providing hope, dignity, and a sense of renewed possibility to individuals, families, and communities impacted by disasters or other challenging life circumstances who, without them and their partnerships, would struggle to find that hope.
A global leader in product philanthropy and purposeful giving, Good360 partners with socially responsible companies to source highly needed goods and distribute them through their network of diverse nonprofits that support people in need. They help JFS access the goods that allow us to deliver on our own important missions in our communities.
