This is their considerate and thorough reply. I hope you'll give. Even if you're broke like so many are these days, clothes are something that most of us can spare. Thanks.
Unfortunately, CARE is not in the position to receive in-kind donations or opportunities for hands-on volunteering due to logistics and that our international projects are locally staffed and managed. Please scroll down for volunteering opportunities with other organizations.
