By Lisa Naccarato for CBC News – Dec 08, 2015: With the official start of winter just a couple of weeks away, Toronto’s largest clothing bank is opening its doors to Syrian refugees, offering them clothing for free as well as other services to help them get settled.

New Circles Community Services is giving the refugees access to its gently-used clothing program. Newly arrived families can pick out their own clothing at the organization’s free department store.

“They can come here twice a year for the next two years, and pick up clothing spring, summer, fall, winter to make sure their needs and their families’ needs are met,” New Circles executive director Alykhan Suleman told CBC News.

The registered charity is offering the services to Syrian refugees being sponsored by private groups and through Lifeline Syria, Suleman said.
