Thanks-4-Giving

Thanks-4-Giving: what started three years ago as a small Hawthorne School project, has now turned into an annual Bozeman community event that redistributes literally tons of clothing.   Schools throughout the area collect gently worn clothing, infant through adult, each November. The clothes are then made available to everyone during the two-day "Thanks-4-Giving" event.

This is a good opportunity to look at your closets and see what clothes and shoes you and your family no longer use.  Items should be sorted and labeled according to gender and size.  Donated clothing will be accepted at individual schools and at Willson School November 18 and 19 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Clothing will be available for people to acquire (like a "free garage sale") on Saturday, November 20 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and Sunday, November 21 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Willson School Gymnasium(404 W. Main in Bozeman). Everyone is invited to come and take items that their family can use.  No donation needed.  Thanks-4-Giving is a collaboration of area school volunteers and students.
