MONROE - Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Court Mazzuchelli No. 2609, Green County, will be sponsoring a free clothing exchange with the support of HCE, Grace Lutheran Church, Hope Evangelical Free Church, and many community members. All families of Green County are invited to participate through their donations and to attend to shop for clothing for their children. This project will assist many families in Green County in preparing their families for school and the winter months.
The free clothing exchange will operate on a simple honor system. Donate what you can, visit to obtain what your children need and try to keep the room orderly.
Families may drop off clothing their children have outgrown from 1 to 3 p.m. or 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, July 23 or 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, July 24.
