CLOTHING DRIVES
Palmer Woods Shared
the Love and Donated Clothing to COTS.
More than 40 families donated several hundred bags of clothing to COTS
on Saturday, February 13, 2010 (Valentine’s weekend).The 2011 Clothing Drive will collect clothing for The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul Detroit Thrift Stores. Click here to read more about the 2011 drive. Volunteers Rob
Dewaelsche, Craig Vanderburg, Corbin Vanderburg and Kevin Warfield
picked up the donations from porches in Palmer Woods and filled a
rented truck. Rob, Craig and Barbara Barefield delivered the clothing
to an appreciative crowd at COTS, where an assembly line of volunteers
helped to unload the truck and carry the bags inside. Deborah Copeland organized the Clothing Drive for 2010.
Thank you to
everyone who contributed to our clothing drive.
The 2011 Clothing Drive will be held on Saturday, Feb. 26. If you are interested in helping or will
pledge items to donated, email

Why this works: As times get tougher, many
of us in Palmer Woods recognize our good fortune to have our homes,
families and warm clothing. To assist others less fortunate, and seize
an opportunity to clear our homes of unneeded clothing, the Palmer
Woods Association sponsored this clothing drive for COTS.
What is COTS?
COTS is a nonprofit organization that alleviates homelessness by
providing an array of services that enable people to achieve
self-sufficiency and obtain quality, affordable housing. COTS also
advocates for long-term solutions to the problems of homelessness. Our
“Share the Love” clothes collection project is a wonderful opportunity
for Palmer Woods to show our support of COTS and the people of Detroit.
In lieu of the annual monetary donation PWA
makes to COTS from the proceeds of the Home Tour, the Board felt that
this project would illustrate our commitment in assisting this
outstanding organization. COTS and its growing number of recipients are
in need more than ever before.
