The Salvation Army in St. Joseph is asking residents to clean out their closets in an effort to help clothe those in need.

Gently used clothing and miscellaneous items are being collected Friday and Saturday as part of the organization’s Stuff a Truck drive. Friday October 6th, from 3 p.m. – 7 p.m. and Saturday October 7th, from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Salvation Army workers and volunteers will be at the Hy-Vee Shopping Center on the Belt Hwy collecting the donated items.

“The Salvation Army assists individual and families in need with clothing and household items at no cost to those who qualify,” said Major Abe Tamayo with the Salvation Army. “In addition, the Family Store upholds the dignity of those who are able to purchase items and this in turn supplements the operation of the shelter, youth programs, summer camp opportunities, nursing home care packages, the food pantry, and more.”
