Clothing Our Community,
One FREE outfit at a time…

A Community Effort,
Meeting Community Needs

Cleaning out those closets for spring & summer??

SERVE, CAPS and the North Macomb Leos are collecting reusable clothing for
children and adults.

Drop clothes off Friday, May 14, 10-3
(only by making arrangements by calling 586-281-1149)
OR bring to the swap.

Our goal is to provide families in need with clothing FREE of charge. YOU
DO NOT HAVE TO BRING CLOTHES TO TAKE CLOTHES.

Donating clothing is an easy way to help someone in your community.

Kelly Carson (586) 281-1149

SEE BELOW FOR RULES/PROCEDURE FOR SWAP



HOW IT WORKS:

At home, sort CLEAN clothes by size and bag or box. Bring clothes to the
swap and hand in to uniformed staff at the entrance to the cafeteria. DO NOT
give your donation to anyone outside the building.

Bring a REUSABLE GROCERY SIZED BAG or regular plastic grocery bags. We will
have some bags if you do not bring any. NO laundry baskets or garbage
bags. Strollers are OK for kids but NOT for collecting clothes.

ONE BAG AT A TIME may be filled. You may fill a bag, take it to your car,
and then return to the swap. This process may be repeated many times
provided the attendee does not take amounts deemed excessive (i.e.,
suggestive of resale or use for an organization). Swap volunteers have the
right to ask an attendee who is taking too many clothes to leave the swap.

SWAP VOLUNTEERS will wear identifying clothing/name tags. Only approved
volunteers will be allowed in before the swap starts.

NO CHARITIES, CHURCH GROUPS, SHELTERS, MOM-TO-MOM PARTICIPANTS, OR RESALE
GROUPS will be allowed. If your group is interested in leftover clothing,
you may ask to be put on a request list.


Attending the swap IMPLIES CONSENT TO THESE RULES. The very few who abuse
the generosity and good intentions of this event will be expected to leave
empty-handed.

Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Some of their homes may be bigger.
Some will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
Their husbands will fix more things around the house.
Just let it go, love yourself and ur circumstances.

Think about it!
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
The most highly favored woman at work may be unable to have children.
The richest woman you know, with the car, the house, the clothes, might be lonely.
So love who you are.

Look in the mirror every morning, smile and say
"I am too blessed to be stressed, too annointed to be disappointed! "
Winners make things happen, Losers let things happen!
Be blessed ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman.
