HOLD A
CLOTHING DRIVE

Ways to Draw Interest

  • Creative titles will always help generate interest!

  • Make your drive a competition among departments, grades, classes clubs, sports teams, scout troops, or any other group. A friendly contest is a great way to encourage everyone to get involved. Honor the winning team with a special prize.

  • If your drive is at school, ask the Student Council, National Honor Society, or Parent Teacher Association to help promote the drive to the student body. Flyers and advertisements in school newsletters will help spread the word.

  • Posters, flyers and big collection boxes will remind people to give.

  • Designate a time frame. Single-day, 3-day, or 2-6 week drives can all be very successful. Make the drive last only as long as you think you can keep the excitement and interest high.

Clothing drives and other special collection events are some of the best, and most fun, ways to collect clothing for Clothes To The Fun Clothes.

​

These tips will help you get started on planning a drive, but please keep in mind that every collection is different. Use the ideas that will work best for you and your group. We are happy to help at any step along the way.
