Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful reports that 2,020 people dropped off clothing and other goods to 168 volunteers at last weekend’s Fall Clothing Drive at Hilander stores and the Forest Hills Lodge.

“This event is the perfect opportunity to help those in need by finding a new home for outgrown school clothes and other items that no longer fit or are needed.  With the current economic conditions, second hand clothing in good condition is in high demand,” Lori Gummow, executive director, said in a news release.

Next spring’s date? May 8.
