We would like to send a “big” thank you to everyone who donated clothing for our cleanup day clothing drive this last weekend. We collected a total of 87 bags and Shirley Fedora was our prize winner with 16 bags.

 Thank you to the Homer Chamber of Commerce for letting us partner with them during their cleanup week and to everyone who donated treats for us to give away to the garbage collectors and clothing donors. 

And last of all, thank you to the volunteers who helped during our clothing drive — Lisa, Lee, Rick, Shelby, Polly, Charity, Colleen and Randy from Malone Insurance for letting us use their truck to transport the donations.

 Just a reminder that you can donate gently used clothing, bedding and towels year round at our red bins at Ulmer’s and Safeway or call us for a pick up. Your donations go a long way to help support our local mentoring program.
