Old clothes to donate

Our accident simulations are messy and the clothing worn by the "victims" is usually discarded. Consequently, the WFAC appreciates donation of old clothing, especially the following:

  • Long-sleeve shirts in large and extra-large sizes 
  • Long pants in large and extra-large sizes
  • Sweatshirts, sweaters, and lightweight jackets in all sizes 
We do not use short-sleeved T-shirts or shorts.

Light-colored clothing is especially useful.
