Where To Donate Clothes On Roosevelt island? Any Suggestions? $100 Thousand Of Dell Computer Equipment With Assistive Patient Technology Donated To Coler Goldwater Hospital By Hank Carter's Wheelchair Charities


I received a question recently from a Roosevelt Island resident asking:
Do you know where can I donate clothes here in Roosevelt Island?
I replied:
Coler Hospital on the Northern end of the Island accepts donated clothes.

Here's some info on Coler clothes donation.

The Thrift store accepts donated clothes as well.
According to Angelica Patients Assistant Program at Roosevelt Island's Coler Hospital:
... If you would like to make a difference by donating goods for the patients and residents at Coler-Goldwater Hospital, we welcome in-kind donations.  These items would be greatly appreciated:  new or gently used clothing (especially comfortable leisure wear, sleepwear and undergarments), footwear, toiletries, laptops, iPods, DVD players, portable DVD players, DVD's, books and artwork.  Donations of food and beverages for special events would also be helpful....
Any other suggestions for donating clothes or other items?

Donations may be large or small. Here's an example of a large donation. A reader sent in this link to March 2012 NYC Health and Hospitals Corp newsletter describing a $100 thousand computer equipment donation to Coler Goldwater Hospital:

This is because, keurig has formed a partnership with UCC to roast and market their coffee in this part of the world. An 18 quart electric roaster oven can accommodate a ham, but be sure to think about all the different things you might want to cook in your roaster oven when choosing a size. Enterprise: for companies with multiple low traffic websites, which is $50/month
