Rainbow Schools collect 5,816 clothing items for Winter Clothing Drive

Since September, students in Rainbow Schools have been collecting gently used winter clothing items for local families in need.

The drive, spearheaded by Cooper Equipment Rental, helps to support Our Children, Our Future.

In total, 14,438 clothing items were collected from communities across the city. Rainbow Schools contributed 5,816 items to this total, thanks to the many donations.

“We are thrilled that we were able to surpass last year’s collection total,” says Walden Public School Principal Chris Bourré. “It is amazing to see what can happen when the community works together towards a common goal.”

He adds: “Thank you to everyone who helped to make this winter a little warmer for those in need.”
