Sylvia's Children - Providing Schools for Africa's Orphans

Starbucks and Sylvia's Children
Partner Up Again For Clothing Drive
A group of Starbucks stores have partnered with Sylvia's Children to help raise funds for children in Africa. Sylvia’s Children is conducting a clothing drive at ten Starbucks locations in New Jersey, April 8 through June 10. Participating locations are: Middletown, Marlboro, Matawan, Manalapan, Edison, Westfield, East Brunswick, New Brunswick, North Brunswick, and Piscataway.

Items being accepted for the drive include all types of usable and wearable clothing for all seasons, shoes, handbags, belts, toys, linens, etc. For a complete list of items accepted for donation please visit the Donate Now page. Donated items should be placed in 30 gallon black plastic bags and dropped in the collection boxes at the Starbucks' locations listed above.

Funds raised from the clothing drive will be used to finance a desperately needed health clinic for the children at the Mbiriizi Advanced Primary School, Uganda, Africa. It will also provide them with food, clothing, lodging and an education. For more information visit the Donate Now page,
call (732) 946-2711 or e-mail Sylvia Allen at Sylvia@SylviasChildren.org.

A Child's Heart Touched by Sylvia's Children

When young Brendon learned of the children in the Mbiriizi Primary School in Masaka, Uganda, Africa, he knew he wanted to help. After talking to his parents, he presented his school teacher with a letter and $125 of his own money to give to Sylvia's Children.
Read Brendon's letter.
