Pekin, IL – State Representative Travis Weaver (R-Peoria) and his Pekin District Office have announced an upcoming Winter Clothing Drive to benefit Pekin Community High School’s Dragon’s Closet. The drive will be held from December 9-11. Donations can be dropped off at Rep. Weaver’s Pekin Office during regular business hours on those three days from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. The Pekin Office is located at 337 Court St.
As the temperatures continue to drop, PCHS is working to help keep students warm during the cold winter months. Donations of high school-appropriate hoodies, sweatshirts, coats, hats, gloves, sweatpants, leggings, and boots will be accepted. All donations will be distributed by PCHS to students in need.
“Please consider donating winter clothing supplies to help students and neighbors in need this holiday season,” stated Rep. Weaver. “We are seeking high school-aged clothing items, either new or gently used, to be donated to PCHS. Your support means so much to our local community, and thank you in advance for participating.”
