Help Clothe Children

February 1971

The Hamilton School P.T.A. is sponsoring a project for the needy children in our community. It’s official name is Project Clothes Closet. The purpose of the Clothes Closet Project is to mend usable clothing that has been donated to the Project by various groups in the community, and to distribute these items to those who are in need of them.

The Clothes Closet is currently located at the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council, Inc. office at 6008 Kingsbury.

The workers in the Clothes Closet Project are asking the community to help by donating usable clothing, thread, or buttons. They are also in need of some extra hands for mending and sorting. Any and all contributions or volunteers will be greatly appreciated. For more information call: Mrs. M. Rowell — 863-3776 (day); Mrs. M. Boyts — 862-4795 (after 4:00 p.m.)
