Clothing Your Community drive launched

Written by Kristen Criswell | | krapin@toledofreepress.com

Cherry Street Mission is urging people to save their old clothing this holiday season. “Clothing Your Community” will be collecting clothes starting Dec. 28 through Jan. 23.

The drive is promoting, “When you no longer wear it, share it,” said Dan Rogers, president and CEO of Cherry Street Mission. Cherry Street Mission will then distribute the clothing in the community in early February.

“Clothing Your Community” is a partnership between Cherry Street Mission, LaSalle Cleaners, Pro-Pak Industries, The Andersons, Cumulus Broadcasting, Fifth Third Bank, Toledo Free Press, YMCA and JCC of Greater Toledo, WTOL and H.O.T. Printing and Graphics.

Locations of collecting stations, and collection times will be released in the coming weeks.

    I am raising my 18 year old grandson Thomas Ruffier, he is a senior at Start. I could use help clothing him. He needa size 10 or 10 1/2 black tennis shoes, winter boots, size 30/30 pants, mens med long sleeve shirts, sweaters and sweater vests. He has no winter coat, would like a black mens med hooded coat and a warm pair of gloves. I did get him socks and underwear for Christmas.
    I would be ever so grateful for any help for him.

    Thanks YouMary Jane Hummel
