ATTLEBORO – Students, faculty and staff members of Grace Baptist Christian Academy of Attleboro are currently operating a clothing drive to benefit needy people in other parts of the world and are soliciting donations.
According to Billi Jo Nichols (a teacher at the school), who is coordinating the drive, the program began Nov. 14 and will continue to Dec. 9. Men’s, women’s and children’s clothing items of any kind are acceptable for donation.
“As long as the clothing is useable and wearable, we will accept it,” Nichols said.
