We will be collecting winter clothing for Sustainable Fruit Dale/ Wheat Ridge at our October social event. We are especially interested in warm clothing for the upcoming cold season. All items will go to the Jeffco Action Center for area families. So it's time to pull out those winter items to see if they fit or are extras!!! All sizes of clothing are needed!
