Some of you may know that I have been working to help with the the "Fannish Relief" effort to help out members of the SF community affected by Hurrcaine Katrina. Mercedes Lackey and Larry Dixon have joined forces with Deborah's group "Operation Mail Drop".
Deborah let me know that they have some people who have specific needs for plus-size clothing. Here are details of the people whe is looking for cloting for: ______________________________________________ Women's size 3X WINTER clothing suitable for a librarian at a college.
Men's size 5X WINTER clothing suitable for a law office paralegal assistant.
Women's size 8 WINTER clothing suitable for a company account. Jeans too.
All these people need good clean working clothing - not play clothing. So get together with your friends and send me the VERY best of what you can find. Slight worn clothing is fine, but if they have holes, stains, busted seams, pilled up fabric or unwoven fabrics - please don't send these. These people have enough "Salvation Army" junk. We are looking for "professional" clothing for these people - if you can find that please sent it - and HURRY! - our families will LOVE you for it! Right now they are FREEZING in summer clothing! ______________________________________________________
So if you or anyone else you know has suitable clothing to donate, please get in touch with me right away or contact Deborah at snipped-for-privacy@aol.com
Thanks a bunch. Please feel free to forward this to anyone you know.
