Starting April 22 through May 3, students are running a clothing drive, sponsored by Ms. Charles. They are collecting both old and new clothing to donate to teens and young adults in need.
Junior Clementine Mckenna, an organizer of the clothing drive, shared her inspiration regarding its setup. “I’ve been thrifting for a long time, and I have a lot of stuff that I honestly don’t need, so I wanted to give it to someone who actually needs more clothes to wear.”
The clothing drive drop-off is in the main lobby. Students and staff can place clothing in the large blue box next to the Main Office. All clothing collected will be donated to various homeless shelters in D.C., such as Hyacinth’s Place and The Community for Creative Non-Violence (CCNV).
“This is very important because there are a lot of kids and young adults, especially in the D.C. area, that don’t have everything they need to go to school or work every day,” said Mckenna.
