Accepting donations for student clothes pantry
After the holiday feasts if you find that your waist is approaching Santa Claus proportions, please consider donating your slightly used clothes to NWACC students who need business causal clothes for interviews and the like. We are planning to have a clothes pantry for students to buy nice clothes for interviews and jobs so that they can dress appropriately but inexpensively. The clothes can be brought by in the end of January—more information to follow!
Thanks, Audley Hall
P.S. If you have a clothes hanging rack for us to borrow, please let us know! Thanks! |
