Giving Place in Tolono is looking for spring and summer wear
Despite restriction allowing clients inside, the Giving Place continued to help those in need of clothing this winter. Now that spring is here and summer is on the way, they are now accepting gently used, cleaned ready-to-hang spring and summer clothing.
The organization does not have laundry facilities to remove stains or pet hair and ask items as such not be left with them. They also ask not to submit torn or ripped clothing as they don't have the capacity to repair them.
Donated clothing items can be drop off on Wednesday 4-6p at 113 N Bourne St in Tolono. Anyone with donation can also call (217) 649-1389 to arrange convenient time to drop off so they can be placed inside the building. The Giving Place asks that donation not left on the front steps to the building.
