Auburn’s Age-Friendly Community Committee is organizing a clothing donation drive for those in need in the  community.

New, unused clothing and cash donations can be dropped off between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays at the Auburn Senior Community Center, near Auburn Recreation at 48 Pettengill Park.

Alternatively, residents can contact Ward 5 City Councilor Leroy Walker at lwalker@auburnmaine.gov to schedule drop-offs.

Warm outerwear, rain gear, sweatshirts, pants, socks, hats, blankets and other protective items of clothing are greatly needed.

The committee plans to distribute the collected items from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 7 at the Auburn Public Library, 49 Spring St. Anyone in need can attend this event and pick up clothing and other essential items. Public transportation to the library is available via citylink bus.
