The Community Closet also had the opportunity to donate Silent Auction items to the St. Jerome’s Graduating Class and the fundraiser for the Lt. Col Craig Armoury.
Partnerships are also a very important aspect of the Community Closet. Bedding is donated to the Animal Clinic at Lakeland College, dinner plates for the Vermilion Legion, soccer cleats to the Vermilion Soccer Associations, Christmas Mugs for VIBE, and books for Belize and the lodge.
We are grateful to the community of Vermilion and Area for their continued support, all of our amazing team members, and volunteers from the community, such as the students from St. Jerome’s who helped us load the Diabetic Truck. Thank you also to Asher who has donated some of his profits from his Lemonade Stand this year. What a generous young man!
With your continued support of donations and shopping at the Community Closet we are able to support a variety of worthy causes. Thank you!
