Still time to donate winter clothing to Bubba’s Closet for students in need

As cold weather looms, it's that time of year to donate new and gently used winter wear for Bubba's Closet, the clothes give-away effort that for more than 20 years has benefitted  elementary school students who need warm clothing.

You can donate now through Oct. 31 at any Hangers Cleaners location. Bubba’s Closet welcomes the donation of winter coats but also is hoping for other winter wear, such as sweaters, sweatshirts, hats and mittens/gloves.

This year, volunteers will distribute the coats and other clothing on Saturday, Nov. 3, at McPhee Elementary School. As usual, Lincoln Public Schools elementary principals have spearheaded the collection efforts and will volunteer at that day’s giveaway event, along with other LPS employees and community members. Any elementary student, accompanied by an adult, may choose appropriate items of clothing to adopt and use.
