Wildcats Host Clothing Drive Fundraiser for Washington, D.C., Trip

Posted

The Chehalis Middle School Wildcats will be holding a clothing and textile drive to raise money for a Washington, D.C. trip.

The Wildcats have partnered with Clothes for the Cause, a fundraising company that collects clothes in exchange for cash.

“Clothes for the Cause makes it easy for everyone in our community to contribute by not asking for money or for someone to buy something,” said a press release. “Instead they partner with fundraising groups to collect items that our friends, family and neighbors already have in their houses such as clothes, shoes, purses, belts and household items.”

The Washington, D.C. trip is not associated with the school or district. Students, parent chaperons and two teachers will head to the nation’s capital in June for an “experience trip,” stated a school district employee.



To make a donation of clothing or textiles, contact Alyssa Lopez at (360) 219-5039 or japalopes11@gmail.com to arrange collection or drop off prior to March 5.
