Union Local Rotary Collecting Clothes Donations
The Union Local Rotary Club is now collecting new or gently used hoodies, sweatpants, and joggers during the month of November for Union Local High School and Middle School students. Sweatpants in adult sizes M, L, XL, XXL and 3XL for boys and the same sizes for hoodies and joggers for girls are needed. Preferred colors are black, navy blue, or red.
Drop-off locations are:
Bethesda Municipal Building, 103 S. Main St., Bethesda, OH
General Dollar Store, Main Street, Flushing, OH
This is a wonderful way to reach out to our area students to help make their Christmas a merry one. For our 2025 Hoodie Project, through drop off items and monetary donations we were able to donate over 100 items to the school. This is our 7th year for The Hoodie Project and due to the economy, our funds are lower than usual, and we will not be able to provide as many items. The last day to drop off items will be November 30. Please take your items to one of the drop-off locations and know you are making a positive contribution where needed. If you would rather make a monetary donation, please make a check payable to the Union Local Rotary Club and mail to PO Box 126, Bethesda, OH 43719. A UL Rotarian will purchase the hoodies for you. Your help will be greatly appreciated, and we thank you in advance for your donation to this worthwhile project. For questions, please call 740 449-2280.
