Ocean State Job Lot to help hurricane victims

Ocean State Job Lot announced today it plans to ship $120,000 worth of clothing to people in the Dominican Republic, where residents were "severely ravaged by Hurricane Noel just weeks ago."

About 50,000 clothing items will be donated, including clothes for men, women and children.

The plan follows the request of a "warehouse associate with ties to the Dominican Republic," Ocean State Job Lot said in a news release.

The clothing will accompany other donations gathered by Rhode Islanders to help needy Dominicans.
