With temperatures dropping and the holidays approaching there is no better reason to donate your time, effort and money to those in need. No matter how small, there is no amount of giving that won’t be beneficial. Although servicing your community should be a yearly endeavor; time and attention to our neighbors is needed even more during these harsh fall/winter months.
Several individuals, organizations and groups have set out to support their community. Join in by sharing the Street Intell, donating items and/or monetary contributions.
Through Nov. 22, Jaden’s Closet Inc. will collect gently used winter wear for the “Warm it up” initiative. To donate, contact Chevonne Thomas at thomas.chevonne@gmail.com or 571-991-9015.
