The Lamb Center (TLC), a nonprofit, daytime drop-in center for the homeless, is in urgent need of men’s clothing, as well as food and supplies. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Here are the most-needed items:

* TLC’s clothes closet is almost out of the following items for men: Jeans (30-38" waist), shorts (30-38" waist), short-sleeved shirts (M-2XL), and sneakers (sizes 8-13). Lightly used clothes are fine. Other men’s items needed (new only) are jersey boxer briefs (M-2XL), white undershirts (all sizes), and lightweight socks in both black and white. 

All supplies may be brought to The Lamb Center at 3160 Campbell Drive in Fairfax City. Hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-2 p.m.; and Saturday, from 9-11 a.m. Anyone who’d like to organize a clothing drive for these urgently needed items is encouraged to contact Development Manager Marisa Alonso at marisayalonso@thelambcenter.org.

* Each week, TLC purchases 25 gallons of milk, 180 pounds of fruit and 600 yogurts to feed their guests. These and other core, pantry items are essential to their health and wellbeing. So the center is seeking individuals, groups or businesses to help fund or shop for these supplies on a regular basis. To partner with TLC to feed neighbors experiencing homelessness, email Alonso at the above address.

* TLC also needs the following items for the many clients it serves: Toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, backpacks, individual sunscreen-lotion packets, acrylic paint (all colors, for its art classes), small umbrellas, liquid bleach, dryer sheets, unscented 13-gallon trash bags with drawstrings; hand soap, disinfectant wipes, travel-sized toiletries (alcohol-free mouthwash, please) and surgical face masks (no N95).
