Fresno Office: YMCA Clothing Donation

The YMCA is looking for gently used clothing for high school students that will be attending upcoming conferences.  They will be dropping off a collection box next week which will be placed in the main kitchen. The box will be picked up on November 8th.

Below is basic information regarding their efforts.

“We are a premier civic engagement program for youth across the state, serving over 100,000 participants over 72 years. Each November and January we host a conference in Fresno which over 3,000 high school youth attend. 

One requirement for our participants, is that they dress professionally while attending our final conference at the State Capitol in Sacramento. This requirement can be challenging for many. Over 30% or 1,100 of our youth participants require financial aid. For these students, purchasing professional attire is simply not a reality. In an effort to alleviate this financial burden, we created Cali’s Closet, a place for our youth to find professional attire at a price they can afford.”

Thank you.
