The clothes are given to the Moscow orphanages or to the United Way, which, in turn, passes them along to needy Muscovites.
Volunteers will pick up the clothes and take them to a collection point -- Roberts' apartment.
"Ex-pats are always coming and going, so we thought that people would rather give away their clothes than take them back," said Roberts, a tax consultant with KPMG in Moscow.
Moscow Cares, a volunteer organization formed seven months ago, is also looking for volunteers to help chaperone children from an orphanage to see a Moscow dolphin show.
To donate clothing or volunteer generally, call the Moscow Cares 24-hour hotline at 241-6810. During the day, messages should be left on the answering machine.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
