Starbucks and Sylvia’s Children Partner Up Again For Clothing Drive

A group of Starbucks stores have partnered with Sylvia’s Children, a 501(c)3, to help raise funds for children in Africa. Sylvia’s Children is conducting a clothing drive at ten Starbucks locations in New Jersey, April 8 through June 10.

 Participating locations are: Middletown, Marlboro, Matawan, Manalapan, Edison, Westfield, East Brunswick, New Brunswick, North Brunswick, and Piscataway. Items being accepted for the drive include all types of usable and wearable clothing for all seasons, shoes, handbags, belts, toys, linens, etc. For a complete list of items accepted for donation please visit www.sylviaschildren.org

 Donated items should be placed in 30 gallon black plastic bags and dropped in the collection boxes at the Starbucks’ locations listed above. Funds raised from the clothing drive will be used to finance a desperately needed health clinic for the children at the Mbiriizi Advanced Primary School, Uganda, Africa. It will also provide them with food, clothing, lodging and an education.
