CLOTHING DRIVE
Simplify, Simplify, Simplify & UNCLUTTER YOUR LIFE WHILE DOING GOOD FOR OTHERS
We are collecting Jeans for the Community Enhancement Collaboration which provides services to the homeless and to people who are having trouble making ends meet.
The program is similar to Becca's closet since they also keep a "closet" of clothing and help people pick out outfits for work, etc. They are in desperate need of Jeans and shorts for the summer for men, women, and children. Our club is organizing a June Jean Drive (but we are starting in May). You can leave them on Barbara Kornblau & Larry Sherry's porch at 9040 SW 64th Court or bring them to Tuesday’s Rotary meeting.
