The North Hunterdon Thrift Shop is hosting a Diaper Drive, starting Thursday, April 1 and running through the end of June, to help single parents.
Area residents are encouraged to donate new, unopened packages of Huggies and Pampers diapers, and the shop, located at 51 County Road 635 (Charlestown Road) in Union Township. There is a particular need for sizes 5 and 6.
In this mission, the shop is teaming up with the Friendship Center for New Beginnings in Flemington, which is “a Christian nonprofit outreach ministry to those facing an unplanned pregnancy and a resource center for single parents,” according to the organization’s website.
Also on April 1, the shop’s new Chic & Unique Wardrobe project will premiere with fashion showcase photos on the shop’s Facebook page and on Instagram at #northhunterdonthrift. The monthly photo showcase will feature outfits from the shop’s collection, arranged by the shop’s designers, Natalya Tasso and Gillian Honeycutt, modeled by the church youth and others, with the goal of promoting a positive self-image in everyone.
The shop is also seeking donations of brand-new baby items, such as bottles, bibs, pacifiers, feeding items, changing pads and toys. With these, the shop will create Baby Shower Baskets. The diapers and the baskets will all be given to the clients of the center. Those who donate a package of 20 diapers or more will receive a $5 off coupon for purchases at the shop. The diapers and the baby items can be dropped off during shop hours, after calling the shop at 908-735-0177.
This month, the shop’s Soles4Souls Shoe Mission continues, aiming to collect 5,000 pairs of shoes to donate to the nonprofit Soles4Souls by April 30 to help others in less-developed countries. Donated shoes of all types, conditions and sizes, and for any season, can be dropped off at the shop during shop hours, after calling 908-735-0177, or they can be placed in the large blue plastic containers outside the shop after hours. They can also be dropped off at Clinton United Methodist Church office at 10 Halstead St. in Clinton and, after hours, can be left on the porch by the ramp door.
In addition to the diapers, baby items and shoes, the shop is accepting donations of clean, good-quality spring and summer clothing and home goods in a contact-free process and by appointment only by calling at 908-735-0177. For details of this process, visit the shop’s Facebook page or its website at sentforothers.org.
This month, the shop also seeks donations of children’s summer clothes, especially boys’ clothes; men’s items, such as clothes, outdoors items and Father’s Day gift items; and gear for high school and college. Visitors to the shop must wear face masks and follow safety protocols.
Shop hours are Monday, 8:30 a.m. to noon, Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to noon and 3 to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, call the shop, email danielle@sentforothers.org or visit the shop on Facebook and Instagram.
