For the Reporter

Grace in Auburn MOPS & MOMSnext has joined Clothes for the Cause for a clothing and textile drive, now through Oct. 31.

The partnership is accepting clothing, shoes, bedding and soft textiles of any kind, in any condition at Grace Community Church, 1320 Auburn Way S., from 9 to 10 a.m.

Clothes for the Cause is a fundraising company that collects clothes in exchange for cash.

Proceeds from the event support scholarships, child care, dinner out for moms, speaker fees and life skills crafts.

Following the drive, Clothes for the Cause will pick up the donations and provide Grace in Auburn MOPS & MOMSnext with the total of their fundraising effort, measured in dollars per pound.

“We are thrilled to be able to help Grace in Auburn MOPS & MOMSnext,” said event planner Cindy Spencer. “Clothes for the Cause and Grace in Auburn MOPS & MOMSnext make it easy for everyone in our community to contribute by collecting things, free of charge that our friends, family and neighbors already have in their houses.”

Grace in Auburn MOPS & MOMSnext offers moms a loving place to come share stories, do crafts, listen to speakers while their children are being cared for. Visit their Facebook page.
