During this time of year, make this season one to remember by setting aside your bags and boxes of gently used clothing, shoes, accessories, books, blankets, dishes, small appliances and other home goods and donate them to the Legacy Bridges Foundation, Inc. Clothing Donation Drive-Thru Event on Saturday, January 27th, 2024 from 11:00a.m. – 3:00p.m. on the campus of San Bernardino Valley College located at 701 S. Mount Vernon Ave. San Bernardino, Ca 92410. The event will be held at LOT#2 between Esperanza St. and Grant Ave. near Johnston St. right across from Baker’s Drive-Thru.
“Drive-up and we’ll unload your vehicles,” said Executive Director Melanee Stovall. “During this time of year we make room in our closets and cupboards for new gifts and trinkets by removing clothing, shoes, accessories, dishes, blankets and other homegoods. We present this tremendous opportunity to give those unwanted items a new home, all while supporting a noteworthy cause. Sort through your closets and cupboards and set aside your bags and boxs in preparation of this donation drive-thru event,” she said.
The Legacy Bridges Foundation, Inc. (LBF) is a California 501(c)3 nonprofit public benefit corporation founded to support individuals and families who suffer from epilepsy and other seizure related disorders. LBF’s mission is to raise awareness of the disease of epilepsy and other seizure related disorders, shine a light for those individuals and families affected, and partner with other organizations to find a cure.
According to the Epilepsy Foundation, “About 1 out of 10 people may have a seizure during their lifetime, epilepsy affects 1 out of every 26 individuals; 3.4 million people nationwide, more than 65 million people globally, and 150,000 new cases are diagnosed in the United States each year.”
“This is a unique two-fold opportunity that we strongly encourage you to participate in, as it will free up space in your homes and allow you to support a local nonprofit organization doing tremendous work,” said Volunteer Director Melody Solomon. “Items we accept include: gently used clothing, shoes, accessories, books, blankets, small appliances and other home goods. We cannot accept the following: encyclopedias, hazardous or construction materials, or weapons. Please use bags for clothes and textiles and tightly packed boxes for small household goods.
