SUMMARY: Back Bay Mission is struggling to meet the increasing demand for clothing, particularly during the summer when guests require more due to heat and sweat. The organization urgently seeks donations, especially sizes 30 to 34 in men‘s clothing, including small to medium t-shirts, jeans, and underwear. The mission serves 50 to 70 guests daily, and there’s a growing need for assistance, including tents, as some guests face extreme weather due to damaged shelters. A donor from Colorado emphasizes the importance of supporting the homeless and encourages others to contribute rather than discard usable items.

Lending a helping hand to those in need, Back Bay Mission is currently asking for help with donations to their clothing closet due to a shortage in some sizes.
