Clothing Drive - June 3rd - 4th 2020

First week, first collaboration, first action!

If you have some clothes in your closet that you don't wear anymore, and also would like to give them a second life, don't miss the clothing drive next week organized with the Resource Center!

Four boxes for donations will be set up at the following locations on Wednesday and Thursday (3rd and 4th of June, 2020):

• Recreation Services Office (Village Center)
• Main Entrance Lobby
• Resource center, center building
• Resource center, Lab 4

Look for the box with the POWER club and Resource Center logo!
The clothes must be in good shape and washed.

At the end of these 2 days, donations will be collected and all these clothes will be given to two NPOs (HelpOki and Oki Hands Oki Heart) that will redistribute them to Okinawan people in need.

Thank you for your help.
