Aurora Noon Lions Club seeks donations of Winter clothing to restock supplies at Wayside Cross Ministries, an Aurora nonprofit.
Susan Koepke, Aurora, Lions service chairman, invites the public to clean out their closets for Wayside. Items needed are new or gently used sweaters, pants, jacket, coats, and other Winter gear for adults and children.
Koepke said, “Because of the pandemic, Wayside was unable to accept donations of new or gently used clothing in the Spring when people regularly clean out their closets. Their inventory is nearly depleted.”
According to Koepke, donations can be dropped off November 16-21 at Stevens Cleaners’ two Aurora locations, 801 E. Galena Boulevard or 705 N. Elmwood Drive. If necessary, Stevens will clean donations at no charge.
Koepke said she was inspired to launch the project after reading a report by Denise Crosby, Beacon-News columnist.
