Live in the Atlanta area? Here’s how you can help…

Zinat Ahmed, Executive Vice President of Marketing & Branding at Cotton Holdings, said they’re collecting thousands of pieces of clothing from communities across the country.
“It takes a few minutes to go into your closet and part with a few things that you just may not need anymore,” Ahmed said. “Whereas there’s someone on a different coast who needs it now more than ever. They have lost everything to their name, and that sweatshirt or those socks, someone can use them.”
