June 24, 2011 Trenton, NJ – The Rescue Mission of Trenton is proud to announce two new locations for the public to donate their gently used and new clothing in Ewing and Pennington townships. Buxton Boxes, a self-storage facility located at 1536 Lower Ferry Road, will be home to one of the new boxes. The second box is located at 278 North Main Street in Pennington.

All clothing donations should be bagged and washed. The Rescue Mission also accepts wearable shoes and accessories. Of particular need is men’s clothing, especially professional wear. It’s not too early to think about winter – the Rescue Mission is always collecting winter coats, hats, gloves, and scarves. Out of respect for the landowners, the Rescue Mission asks that you please place donated items inside the metal donation box.

The Rescue Mission of Trenton is the agency in the city of Trenton that serves the truly needy men and women who have no place to turn for shelter, food, and clothing. The Mission provides a safe, clean, warm refuge for the homeless, the hungry, the transient, and the addicted. All clothing donations go directly to the Rescue Mission, either to 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.

The Rescue Mission also offers a free at-home pickup service for donations of furniture and clothing. To schedule a pickup call 1-800-528-8825.
