The items will be handed over to the St. Francis Center, the department’s Livability Services Center and Inside Safe participants to benefit residents in need.
Details: The donation drive will end on March 1. LASAN is asking people to donate men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, including socks and jackets.

Why it matters: "These efforts also keep food, textiles and other materials out of the landfill in order to support L.A.'s climate and zero waste goals,'' the department said in a statement.
