Reynolds Mountain's Rita Marroquin presents Woodfin Mayor Jerry VaHaun with the first installment of cash donated by Reynolds Mountain residents for the Woodfin Police Departments Clothing Drive.
Last month, Reynolds Mountain received a request from Sergeant Roberts of the Woodfin Police Department to help drum up support for a clothing drive for the children of Woodfin. With prices of basic goods and services higher than ever, new school clothes are often unaffordable for families on low or fixed incomes. Reynolds Mountain residents and employees answered the call to action in a big way: nearly $1,000 in cash and enough bags of clothing to fill several large boxes were delivered to the Woodfin Town Hall last week, and donations continue to roll in.
The deadline for this year’s drive is September 6, so please consider donating new or gently used clothes sizes 4T to 13 (girls) and sizes 4T to XL/34 (boys). Coats and shoes are greatly appreciated as are socks, underwear and other accessories. Checks should be made payable to the Town of Woodfin with “clothing drive” on the memo line. Reynolds Mountain is happy to accept donations at their new Sales Center next door to the Food Lion in Woodfin on Weaverville Highway. All cash and clothing collected will be delivered to the Woodfin Town Hall this Friday, September 6.
