Clothing Fundraiser

In the spirit of welcoming the New Year, time to clean out your closets and put your unwanted clothing and shoes to good use by donating them to our program. We collect gently-used or new clothing, shoes, and accessories (handbags, belts, hats, gloves, socks, towels, sheets), which benefits not only Instrumental Music but most especially, needy families in many communities. For more information on items we can accept, please click https://lhhsmusic.org/clothes.

Please put your gently-used or new clothing and clothing accessories in 13-gallon size or lawn-size trash bags. Then drop off at our Instrumental Music trailer in the parking lot (next to the Stadium), EVERY TUESDAY, all day till 5pm.

Please – NO housewares, toys, or electronics.
