3 ways to donate clothing
 
1. Drop it off at Standard Electric Supply Co. located at 960 Mass Ave. in Boston - I work there - either ask for me or you can just drop it in the Winter Clothing Donation Box. 
 
2. Bring it to any Stop The Bleeding Benefit show - even if you're not attending, I will be happy to accept your clothing donation.
 
3. Give me a call or an e-mail - I may be able to come to you and pick it up - depending on when and where.

If you would like to donate clothing but don't have anything in particular of your own to donate, you can still help - as always, certain stores around the Boston area will be selling hats, gloves, scarves, socks, liner gloves, and things of that nature for as little as $1 each. This is a great inexpensive way to help the homeless, when you consider that for as little as $1 you can help prevent someone from getting frostbite and possibly dying - for $1. No BS scam here, just the truth. The following stores usually carry these $1 items during the winter season:
 
Dollar Tree
K-Mart
Family Dollar
Dollar Fun(Malden)
*also*
the Revere Flea Market(in the Revere movie theater parking lot) has $1 Winter clothing items.

Stop The Bleeding still needs a few things to more effectively put on our benefit shows. If anyone would like to play Santa Claus and help us out with any of these things, let us know.
Here's what we need:
 
1. Venues for our benefit shows. This has been and continues to be the biggest problem we have with getting these shows going. We need places that will let us use their room free of charge for our shows.
 
2. Stage lighting equipment for our live shows.
