The Lenape Regional High School District recently wrapped up its annual GIVE TO GOODWILL clothing drive with 45,840 pounds of donations, surpassing last year’s take by almost 2,000 pounds..
Cherokee, Lenape, Seneca and Shawnee high schools had donation boxes at each school’s parking lot to collect gently-used clothing, accessories, shoes, toys, books and other small household items.
The GIVE TO GOODWILL drive is a district-wide community service project that dates back to 2011. Since then, the district has collected 733,520 pounds of donations. Proceeds fund Goodwill Industries’ job training and career services programs to help local residents with disabilities and disadvantages get to work.
“This community service project encourages students, staff and families to declutter and contribute to local sustainability efforts, while also supporting Goodwill’s longtime charitable mission,” Lenape Superintendent Matthew Webb said.
“We are proud to keep the momentum of this donation drive with Goodwill going into its 14th year.”
