A Care Closet will be up and running one day this week to help those who are in need of basic personal items. Donations have been collected to provide a selection of items for those in need to choose from. This is the first time a project like this has been set up in tri-community and it gives people a chance to clean out their closets and help those who are less fortunate.
“This is the first time we have done this event,” said The Pas Helping Hands 4-H Volunteer Leader Cheryl Antonio. “I heard about it through a friend, through another organization and began to research it. Usually Care Closets are set up in schools, health facilities, churches, etc., and are more of a permanent venue. They can also go by similar or different names, however, they all do the same thing.
