A free community closet event will be held on Saturday, November 7, at Airport Storage from 10am to 1pm, one day only.
We are in need of these items for the event in excellent condition and clean, separated by sizes in bags/boxes. Please do not bring torn, stained or items that should really go in the trash.
Needed are all sizes of gloves, hats, but especially boys’ and girls’ warm winter clothes and coats from Newborn – 6, all sizes of snow boots and snow/ski pants. Anyone whose donation was turned away previously, please contact Kim Hamilton with what you had and we can probably take it again now. We just had way too much at the time, but we got rid of quite a bit.
Volunteers are also needed for this event from 9am to 2pm.
This will also be a bike drive for our upcoming adopt-a-family for Christmas project. Bring any bikes you’d like to donate to the cause. Would like them to be in excellent to very good condition. We have some people who will air up or replace tires, seats and handle grips, but we don’t want ones that need major overhauls, please.
And it will also be the initial sign up for your family if you will be in need for your family’s Christmas wish/needs list. So, come and sign up early.
