Today the Reserve donated the clothing inventory to the State Street Church in La Porte, Indiana.
The inventory was sorted by size and gender and placed for pickup by the State Street congregation. State Street Church operates a food pantry on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday each week. This week, after picking up their food orders, the patrons can shop in the clothing drop. Normal traffic at the food pantry is more than 100 people. Those persons will have access to free clothing all three days. The plan is for any remaining items to go to the La Porte Goodwill store.
The Community Reserve will continue to accept gently used clothing for future needs in the area.
