Invest Madison Parks – Children’s Summer Clothes Drive
July 1st – July 10th
After this winter’s successful clothes drive, Madison Parks is once again partnering with Community Action Coalition of South Central Wisconsin, Inc. (CAC) on a Children’s Summer Clothes drive July 1st – July 10th.
CAC’s Clothing Center serves over 9,000 low-income individuals and families each year. CAC provide seasonally appropriate clothing for school, work, home, as well as job interviews. Many of their families are living pay-check to pay-check and the Clothing Centerallows them to stretch their budgets just a little further. All of the clothing is provided through generous donations from the community. These items are distributed at no charge through CAC’s Clothing Center which is located at 1717 N Stoughton Rd in Madison.
“Summer is a great time for kids to get outside and play in Madison Parks,” says Parks Superintendent Kevin Briski. “Madison Parks is proud to partner with Community Action Coalition on this meaningful Invest Madison Parks initiative.”
