Bring up to two pieces of clothing in need of repair (sweaters with holes, shirts missing a button, etc.) Volunteers will repair them for free. First come, first served. Please keep in mind we do repairs only – no alterations. Zipper replacements may not be possible at every event, as we are dependent on the skill levels of the volunteers that day.

There will also be a Clothing Drive at Withrow that day! Bring any gently used warm clothes you can spare to help someone else keep warm this winter!
