'Clothes 4 Kids' Hoping to Attract Lots of Thrifty Shoppers
With over 20,000 items to choose from, this one-day H2O extravaganza at Lakewood High School will generate thousands of dollars for the popular volunteer organization.
Parents and children have about 20,000 reasons to check out annual event, set for Saturday.
The fundraiser is being held at east cafeteria from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and features gently used clothes and shoes for children who are headed back to school in September, said H2O assistant coordinator Emmie Hutchison.
Most of the 20,000 donated items are under a dollar and thrifty shoppers are encouraged to buy as much as they want.
