If the shoe doesn’t fit, donate it!
On Saturday, October 26 remember to take your used clothing, bedding and other textiles to the Gulf Road community center between noon and 3 p.m. for the garbageinpr.com clothing drive.
Volunteers will be sorting the donated items and directing them to a variety of local and regional charities, and volunteer menders will be on hand if you need help saving a favorite pair of jeans. This year, the event is also accepting donations of alarm clocks for women’s shelters and halfway houses.
