Help Pups Play: Join the SAY’s Old T-Shirt Collection Drive!

Attention all dog lovers and community members! The Summit Area YMCA is excited to announce our Old T-Shirt Collection Drive running from October 1 to 31. But it’s not just about recycling t-shirts—it’s for a pawsome cause!

Wondering what happens to your old t-shirts? We’re crafting them into safe, playful toys for our four-legged friends. These handmade toys will then wag their way to Home for Good Dogs in Berkeley Heights. Not only are you decluttering, but you’re also gifting joy to a furry pal.

How Can You Help?

It’s simple! Drop off your gently used t-shirts at either the Summit YMCA or Berkeley Heights YMCA during our collection drive dates. Make sure they’re clean and free from any heavy graphics or embellishments.

With every t-shirt you donate, you’re contributing to a wagging tail and a happy bark at Home for Good Dogs. Let’s come together as a community and make a difference in the lives of these adorable canines.

We stand for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility — For a better us. We are committed to creating equal opportunity for all regardless of gender, age, disability, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious affiliation.
