Thank you to all parents and volunteers who helped make this year’s fall clothing drive another success! Over 100 children received items such as new underwear and socks, winter outfits, shoes, coats, gloves, hats, scarves, belts, shin guards, cleats, toothpaste and toothbrushes, as well as free books not needed for the library from the book drive. Special thanks to Fleur for donating the use of their hanging racks, and to Dr. McKenzie at Raleigh Periodontics for the donations of dental supplies. As you think about what to do with those summer clothes you just switched out for fall, consider donating them in the spring for our next clothing drive.
