As winter is drawing near, The River Food Pantry has a real need for clothing donations. They need men’s coats, interview clothing for men and women, warm blankets and children’s clothes. Please consider donating some of your unused items from your family and friends at The Creative Company between now and September 20th.
If your business is able to do a drive, we can also help you coordinate your drive with Betsy Ezell, the marketing director at The River.
40% of the people who go to The River say they have to choose between food and housing or food and utilities. There is never a charge for any of the River’s services. All are welcomed and all are cared for.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Andy or Jenny at 442-8815 or e mail them at river@therivermadison.org. There’s always a need and there’s always a place for you at The River.
We really hope we bury them in warm coats, blankets and kids clothes! It’s easy to help out and for someone without a coat or a child without clothes – it makes a big difference.
