Since 2014, ADVENT has led an ambitious charge of local residents and the northwest Philadelphia business community to gather and recycle clean, perfectly good, yet unwanted clothes. Through these efforts, we felt we could get clothes to a place where they're needed and hopefully raise some money for our local community center. Now, in our 4th year, we are proud to have collected 35,000 lbs of clothes and over $10,000 for North Light Community Center. North Light has been the perfect partner, with incredible value, proven guidance and leadership throughout our neighborhood. ADVENT felt compelled to conceptualize, brand and spearhead the effort after North Light's Annual Pints for North Light event in late October. This would continue a well-deserved spotlight on the community center through a giving time of year. We have had incredible success with 5,000 lbs collected and $1,000 raised for North Light in 2014, 15,000 lbs and $3,800 in 2015, and over 15,000 and $5,600 donated in 2016! The Thanks4Giving Clothing Drive has proven exceptional growth and a trusted provider of unmarked funding for North Light at the beginning of the next calendar year. With the help of community leaders, past financial sponsors and 30+ local businesses, the drive is as strong as ever. November 1st through the end of 2017, we'll be accepting all CLEAN clothing and footwear of all seasons, including coats, hats, gloves & scarves.
