The warmer weather has many people starting their spring cleaning with their closet.
While you're packing away your winter clothes, if you have spring or summer clothes you don't think you'll wear or don't fit, consider donating them to Paul's Place in Baltimore's Pigtown neighborhood.
Paul's Place is an outreach center for low income and homeless people.
All this week, Paul's place is holding a "Clean Out Your Closet" drive with Power Plant Live! They're accepting clothing for men and women, but say they are in desperate need of clothes for men.
"Men tend to wear their clothing for a little bit longer and they probably buy less of it to begin with," said Kathleen Elliott, the director of development and communications at Paul's Place.
"And when it comes time to donate, they have less to give and unfortunately we can only offer shopping once a week for men."
"It was in the past couple of weeks we became aware of the shortage of clothing, for men specifically," said Christ Furst, director of marketing for Power Plant Live!
"We have the resources and hundreds of employees, so it was just a matter of 'Let's get out the message and we're going to start collecting clothes.'"
You can drop off gently-used clothing from Monday, April 17 to Friday, April 21 either at Paul's Place at 1118 Ward Street in Baltimore or at Leinekugel's Beer Garden at Power Plant Live!
If you make a donation at Power Plant Live! you can get a discount on tickets to Springfest which is coming up in May.
Paul's Place has a list of items they need to most on their website.
