Clothing Thrift Drive

A message from Carly Alvo and the Climate Conscious Club at PPAS.

A clothing thrift drive has been organized for November 15th. The thrift drive is free. No money will be involved. It is a simple way to promote sustainability and encourage people to clean out their closets of clothing they no longer wear.

Let’s use this thrift opportunity to reduce, reuse, recycle, and keep it out of landfills.

Clothing donations of all sizes and styles are encouraged.
