Global Connections DECA held a reusable Clothing Drive, which collected over 3,500 pounds of reusable clothing from our community. Road signs created by Howard Graphics were seen in front of the school for several weeks, letting the community know about the clothing drive. Each person donating clothing was given their choice of a reusable Fred Meyer shopping bag, a CFL light bulb, or a water-saving shower head. These “give away” items were funded in part by Fred Meyer and a grant from the Sustainable Seattle organization. All clothing was “sold” to Value Village and a “profit” of $657 was earned. Global Connections DECA will be donating the money to the Heifer Foundation to provide farm animals for families living in third-world countries.
