COVID-19 Update
Textile Collection Program Suspended Until Further Notice
As part of ongoing efforts to protect the health and safety of donors, staff, partners, and the community during the COVID-19 pandemic, textile bins located at Town facilities have been temporarily removed. During this time, we ask that residents please hold off on bin donations until such time that the textile collection program is able to resume. Please do not leave material at these sites. Your continued support and understanding are appreciated.
