Delray Beach with help from the Downtown Marketing Cooperative held the annual "Open Your Heart ... Open Your Closet ... Open Your Cupboard" community clothing drive from May 18 to 31. Today, members of the Caring Kitchen, Redlands Christian Migrant Association, National Church of God and Our Lady Queen of Peace Church, all located in Delray Beach, picked up the goods collected by area residents during the drive.
Father Carlos Anklan of Our Lady Queen of Peace Church at 9600 W. Atlantic Ave. said the clothing his church collected will go straight to migrant workers.
"We're looking for migrant worker clothing," Anklan said.
Millie Edwards, 71, collected and transported goods for the National Church of God in Delray Beach.
"We share these goods with the community and the Caring Kitchen," Edwards said.
Kina Macedo and Guadalupe Ruiz collected goods for the Redlands Christian Migrant Association.
"We're really after long sleeve shirts, work shoes, anything that can protect migrant workers from the elements while they're working in the fields," Macedo said.
United Storage at 2512 N. Federal Highway in Delray Beach donated a 10-by-10-foot storage space that was filled with the goods in May,
"It's a wonderful thing," Manager Alvise Russomanno said.
For more information on the clothing drive contact the Downtown Marketing Cooperative at 561-279-1380, ext. 17.
Macedo and Ruiz load the goods into the association's van.

Choosing the Best Solar Charger for Your iPhone Sourcinggate .com
Solar chargers are becoming increasingly popular for smartphone users, with the iPhone being no exception. There are a variety of solar iPhone chargers available, but the most important question is: ¡°Which one is the best solar charger [url=http://www.sourcinggate.com/mobile-power-station-for-apple-iphone-3g/-iphone-4g-white-p-12364.html]iphone solar charger[/url] for me?¡± In this article I¡¯ll go over three important factors for finding the best solar charger for your iPhone.
Is the solar charger compatible?
While there are many solar chargers for iPhones, many aren¡¯t made only for the iPhone. Some solar chargers have interchangeable charging tips. So be sure to see if an iPhone charging tip is included and/or available separately.
If you have found a solar charger made specifically for the iPhone, it is a good idea to check which iPhone(s) it is compatible with. For example, the Dexim P-Flip has two models: one for iPhone 3g/3gs and the second is for the iPhone 4.
How else can it be chaged?
Having a solar iPhone charger can undoubtedly provide additional battery life at the most critical times but you might not have the time or sunlight required to charge up from the sun. The top solar iPhone chargers allow users to charge the internal battery via usb or wall outlet. This can be a great option to insure you have at least some extra power on hand.
How will the charger [url=http://www.sourcinggate.com/mobile-power-station-for-apple-iphone-3g/-iphone-4g-white-p-12364.html]iphone 4 solar[/url] attach to my iPhone?
Solar chargers will either attach directly to your iPhone or via the charging cord. While this decision is made primarily by your personal preference, each solar charger does have advantages and disadvantages. On device chargers are usually smaller and resemble an iPhone case; however their battery and solar panel size is smaller than many corded solar chargers. Cable connector solar chargers have larger batteries and solar panels but carrying two separate devices can be bulky.

Solar iPhone chargers aren¡¯t for everyone but they can be a great alternative to carrying your charger everywhere you go.

Prince William and Kate Middleton will tie the knot on Friday in Westminster Abbey surrounded by the international social elite. THE average Australian wedding costs almost $50,000 a far cry from the lavish royal affair to be broadcast around the world this week but more than a home deposit and potentially years of debt for many young couples. However, this does not have to be the case for smart savers and those who shop cleverly even for their big day.Beautiful woman who, perhaps, in this season full of fashion, we should pay more attention to their clothes under their wedding dresses, http://www.williamsbridal.com/wedding-dresses.html evening wear.
