WES Clothing Drive
We are excited to announce that our school is organizing a clothing drive to support those in need within our community. We kindly ask for your help in making this initiative a success.
What We’re Looking For:
We are collecting clean, gently used clothing items for ages 5-12. This includes shirts, pants, jackets, and shoes. Please ensure that all items are in good condition, as we want to provide quality clothing to those who need it (please do not donate used underwear or socks).
There will be boxes labeled in the school lobby for drop-off Sept 16th-19th.
Your generous donations will go a long way in supporting families and individuals in our community. If you have any questions or need more information, please feel free to contact our School Social Worker, Sara Levine at srlevine@wcpss.net / 919-616-7606. Thank you for your support and participation. Together, we can make a positive impact!
