Rebuking The Recession: The Clothes and Accessories Drive

Olufunmilayo Odunaike raised money last week to give succor to those on her list who need some financial respite. Reading through Folake Oyetosho's update, she suggested a clothes drive and I embrace it. I confess I have not followed the 80/20 rule. I have classic clothing in my closet that I promise to wear but never get to wear them, yet I buy and buy and buy again. I have shoes I have not worn in 3-4years (all leather upper, leather sole). I have bags I won't ever carry again. I know a lot of my friends fall into this category. Somehow, we tend to think everyone is okay but that is not the reality. There are many on our lists that are in need. They are hardworking folks who will never beg. This is about them.
