Clean Your Closets Campaign

The Clean Your Closets Campaign is held annually during the second week of April. Anyone can participate. The targeted (15) States include: California, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin.

The reason for this community service project is: “It is better to give than to receive.” The goal is achieved by each person compiling donations of clothing and shoes. Participants place items in at least (1) 30 gallon garbage bag. Donations are delivered to the nearest Battered/Abused or Homeless shelter in the area. Participants then register their participation via email with IYMS, Inc. Their names are then highlighted in the spring issue of the Positive Perspectives newsletter and each person receives a Certificate of Participation.
