January 9, 2024-During this start of a new year, as you tidy up your homes, set 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 tidy up our homes post the holiday season 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 boxes in preparation of this donation drive-thru event,” she said. “Enjoy FREE snacks after collection of your load, courtesy of our friends at Adrian’s World and snap a quick photo with Kid Condor, the Ontario Clippers Mascot from 12:30pm – 1:30pm!”
The Legacy Bridges Foundation, Inc.
