Make Room in Your Home & Do a Mitzvah at the Same Time!!!

Clothing,

Toys,

Kids Books,

Novels,

Linens,

Small household items,

Small furniture,

Etc!

Guidelines for Gemach-Giving:

1) Don't feel bad to throw out clothing your family has worn and gotten good
use from. 

IT'S NOT A WASTE to throw it out if it's:

stained,

bleach-spotted,

torn,

worn out,

stretched out,

washed out,

stiff from repeated laundering,

pilled or

out-of-style.

But IT IS a waste of the gemach-owner's time and energy when you send these
items.

2) Gemach clothing is cheap and very plentiful. Therefore, customers can
afford to be picky. No one will buy & fix:

broken zippers,

torn shoes,

ripped clothes,

squashed hats,

pants in great condition but with a hole in the knee (no one will patch
these-chuck them!)

3) No one wants used tzitzis or ripped sefarim. This is an extra bother as
the gemach-owner must now save these items and shlep them to a geniza.
Please don't pass this job on to someone else!

4) It's strange but true that many, many people send used, worn (and not so
clean!) socks and underwear! Not a must-have item!!!

5) If dishes, pots and other housewares are not clearly marked as milk or
meat, they can't be used. No one will bother kashering them.

6) Shoes must be new or almost new. We get so many dirty or overly worn out
pairs. These are very heavy for gemach owners to shlep to the garbage. Do it
yourself in the privacy of your own home!

7) White shirts must be spotless. Oil stains don't come out. Shirts with
over-ironed, lumpy or ripped collars & cuffs are not in great demand.

8) PLEASE, don't send clothes & fitted sheets with elastic so old that it
cracks when you stretch it!

9) WHEN IN DOUBT.THROW IT OUT!

For donations: please leave your bags at Nachal Sorek 40, right opposite
Sifrei Geula, in the parking lot.

Tizku Lemitzvos!
