Later, the Corpsmen took up a collection of old clothing for the homeless; the contributions swamped the Corp's headquarters. The overflow had to be stored in a nearby armory where new contributions came in for days. Old women gave their favorite dresses; men on unemployment relief gave half their monthly checks.
