Saturday March 8, 2025 VFW Post 9990 / Memorial Hall (275 Orcuttville Rd) 2-4pm
How it works:
Bring cleaned clothes and shoes in almost any condition that you don’t wear. (Rips and stains are ok, but not mold, mildew, or hazmat.) Our scouts will sort it by size or best guess.
Take what you want, leave what you don’t. At the end of the event, the Girl Scouts will donate items in good condition to the local thrift shops and recycle/upcycle everything else.
