  1. I work at the New England Center for Homeless Veterans in Boston. I may be able to help you with clothing, and will link you up with the Greater Boston Food Bank. I am The Kitchen Storeroom Manager there and utilize the food bank on a weekly basis. I will help you set up an account there. As far as clothing goes we have an excess of clothing and I can possibly deliver some to you. Please let me know. I would be glad to assist you.
