Remarkable Liquids Wraps Up Clothing Drive With 3,000 Pounds Donated
Remarkable Liquids donates more than a ton and a half of clothing to local shelters through its #BeRemarkable Clothing Drive
GUILDERLAND CENTER, N.Y. (April 16, 2019) — Remarkable Liquids, New York State’s premier craft beverage distributor, has wrapped up its #BeRemarkable Clothing Drive with 3,000 lbs. of clothing donated over the course of the two-month drive.
The #BeRemarkable Clothing Drive encouraged patrons to frequent participating beverage producers, restaurants, and Albany parking garages where they could then donate clothes ranging from — sweatshirts, sweat pants, coats, and men’s clothing. Each location was supplied with a #BeRemarkable box where patrons could drop off their donations which were picked up on a weekly basis by Remarkable Liquids delivery drivers and donated to both the Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless in Albany and City Mission of Schenectady.
“We never imagined when starting the Be Remarkable Clothing Drive that our biggest issue would be receiving too many donations,” said Spencer Noakes, general manager of Remarkable Liquids. “Over the past two months, we were able to make two separate donations to Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless and the Schenectady City Mission totaling over 3000 pounds, all thanks to the generosity of the people here in the Capital Region. It’s been incredible to see our community come together to lift up those who are struggling, and we can’t thank everyone who donated or partnered with us enough. We’re looking forward to seeing how much more we can do next year.”
“We keep saying this, but we’re truly blown away by the response of the Capital Region and just how far this project has come. We had hoped we could help even a handful of people in the Capital Region and now that we know we can do much more than that, we’re looking forward to seeing how we can grow next year,” added Jason Napoleon, vice president of execution, Remarkable Liquids.
“When we first spoke with Remarkable about their clothing drive idea, we were excited to be a part of it,” said Matt Peter, executive director of the Albany Parking Authority. “The Be Remarkable clothing drive was more successful than we could have ever hoped and we are grateful to our customers for their enthusiasm and participation. We’re looking forward to next year and finding more ways that ParkAlbany can help better our community.”
“A huge thank you to our new friends at Remarkable Liquids for identifying a need and reaching out to the community. We are amazed at the generosity and so thankful for their partnership,” said Erin Coufal, marketing and communications director at Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless.
Donation boxes were located at over 20 participating businesses including: Centre Street Pub, Backstage Pub, Glenville Beverage, O’Slattery’s Irish Restaurant and Pub, Albany Ale and Oyster, Oliver’s Beverage, Westmere Beverage, Lost & Found Bar & Kitchen, The Olde English Pub and Pantry, The Ruck, Eddy’s Beverage, Rare Form, Nine Pin Cider, Pig & Whistle, Troy Beverage Center, East Branch Organics, Quackenbush Parking Garage, Green-Hudson Parking Garage, and Riverfront Parking Garage.
