Have old clothes to donate? Want to give to a good cause? Come to a clothing drive and bake sale on May 22 at Old Hammondtown School from 9:00 am to noon. Dropped-off bags of old clothes will be purchased by the nonprofit company Bags 2 School, and those proceeds will be donated to Gifts to Give of New Bedford. Proceeds from the bake sale will also benefit Gifts to Give.
Items being collected include gently used, stained, or torn clothing, shoes, belts, purses, towels, sheets, blankets, hats, and more. Stained and torn items are recycled into insulation or wiping cloths.
Just drive into the event and the clothes will be taken from your car. Baked goods will also be brought to your car for purchase so there is no need to even leave the vehicle. The drive is part of a Bar Mitzvah project of a local student. We hope to see you there.
