A reminder today from Cass County Democratic Party Chair Sherry Toelle: The Cass County Democratic Party is sponsoring a Winter Clothing Drive to help secure warm clothes, winter night clothes, and blankets for residents who may not have the resources needed to purchase necessary winter clothing. Toelle asks that people “please bring new or ‘clean, gently used’ items to drop boxes across the county, now through November 15, 2019. Donations will be distributed through the clothes closets and schools throughout the county. Children’s clothing—coats, hats, gloves/mittens, boots, even socks and underwear—are especially needed as are larger sized adult clothing.”

Toelle says “We had a similar event two years ago. The response was overwhelming. We hope that people will be willing to match that response [this year].”

Drop-off sites for good, clean winter clothing (such as caps/gloves & coats) include:

Anita: Rolling Hills Bank, Library, Rusty Razor.

Atlantic: YMCA, Rolling Hills Bank, Private home at 10 E. 13th St.

Cumberland: Telephone Company, City Hall, Library, Houghton State Bank.

Griswold: Rolling Hills Bank, Telephone Company, Library, Houghton State Bank
