Rescue Mission resident Joseph Q., Hamilton Free Public Library director Susan Sternberg, the library’s Board of Trustees president Jeffrey Balling and Rescue Mission of Trenton COO Barrett Young stand next to the new clothing donation bin outside of the library.
The Rescue Mission of Trenton installed a new clothing donation bin in Hamilton.
Donors can drop off gently used a new clothing at bin outside of the Hamilton Free Public Library, 1 Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. Way.
The bin is a result of the Rescue Mission’s new job development program, Street to Sales.
The program offers telemarketing training for residents on site at the mission. Participants work with local businesses, nonprofit organizations and places of worship to try to organize clothing drives.
A participant in the program worked closely with the mission’s volunteer job mentor to place the new bin at the library.
The Rescue Mission asks all clothing donations to be bagged and washed. They also accept wearable shoes and accessories.
Out of respect for the landowners, the Rescue Mission asks that donated items be place inside the metal donation box.
The Rescue Mission has two other boxes in Hamilton Township; Hamilton Ecological Facility on Kuser Road, between Estates Boulevard. and Whitehorse Avenue, and Getty Service Station, 1870 Kuser Road.
The Rescue Mission aims to provide a safe, clean, warm refuge for the homeless, hungry, transient, and addicted in Trenton. Clothing donations go directly to the Rescue Mission; they are either be sold in the Mission Store at 100 Carroll Street or given away through the Rescue Mission’s courtesy shop to needy members of the community.
