Do you have a cluttered closet? Is it time to purge the old kids' clothes? Are you phasing old summer clothes out at the end of the season?
If so, the YMCA can put any old t-shirts you have to good use!
The YMCA hosts an afterschool program called Y-CAP (Youth Community Action Program) that works with at-risk youth between the ages of 10-14. The curriculum includes topics that enhance character development, conflict resolution skills, decision making skills, leadership development, family relationship building, & substance abuse prevention.
One aspect of the program includes time to do a constructive project with their hands. Currently, they are recycling old t-shirts to weave rugs.
So, the Y has reached out to the community to see if anyone would be willing to donate t-shirts for this project.
Not only can you get rid of your old t-shirts (which is a win!), but also the shirts will help youth in our community as they participate in this program (also a win!).
If you would like to donate t-shirts, here’s what you need to know:
Are you only accepting t-shirts?
Yes! Only t-shirts. Leave the pants, shorts, hats, and shoes behind.
Does it matter what size, color, or condition the t-shirts are in?
Nope! Bring any size, color, or condition (holes & all).
Where do I bring them?
Bring them to the YMCA & we’ll have a box set out in the lobby you can drop them in.
How long will this t-shirt drive last?
We’ll accept donations the next 2 Sundays (Oct. 3rd & 10th).
