Greenmarket Expansion August 1

Thanks to a great first half of 2009 in which nearly 110,000 lbs of clothing and textiles have been collected at 5 market locations, Wearable Collections and the CENYC have chosen to expand the program. Starting August 1, we will begin collections to markets in the following areas: Fort Greene, Greenpoint, Inwood, and Jackson Heights. We are thrilled to be able to better serve those in these communities and look forward to future expansions. For a look at our full greenmarket schedule see below..
