Volunteers will help sort and package back to school clothing for local children in need. The Sharing Shelf collects new and gently used clothing for infants, youth and teens. That clothing is distributed to area children at no cost through food pantries, schools and nonprofits. Each child receives a week's worth of clothing matched into outfits. September is one of our busiest months.
This project is a part of 9/11: Serve + Remember.
*This is a family-friendly project for children 11 and over with an adult . If you are interested in signing up as a family, please choose Sign up with a team. Thanks!
