Rhinelander FBLA/DECA announces clothing drive
"The holiday season is fast approaching and sadly this year there are still many families left struggling to just get by," according to a press release announcing the clothing drive. "About 17 percent of children in the Northwoods live below the poverty level. These children may go through their day-to-day life without the necessities needed to live a healthy life such as food, shelter, and clothes. Rhinelander High School FBLA/DECA would love to help these children out in its latest service activity; Jeans for Teens."
From Dec.15-Jan. 3, the group will be collecting gently used jeans and giving them to teens and others in the community who need them.
The collection sites to drop off donations are: Rhinelander High School, James Williams Middle School, Crescent Elementary School, Pelican Elementary School, Maurices, Rhinelander District Library, A La Mode, Bath and Body Creations, and the YMCA.
Look for the big box wrapped in colorful Christmas paper.
"If you have a pair of jeans that have been sitting in your closet since you can't remember when, a pair that you got last Christmas and never actually liked, or even a pair you just don't fit into anymore, we will take them!" the release states. "Jeans of all conditions and colors will gladly be accepted. Donated jeans will go to the local Frederick Place (homeless shelter) so children and families in our area can feel the love and warmth from their 'new' jeans. Please help us out by donating to Jeans for Teens."
