IPS Schools Collects Clothes for Goodwill
Four Indianapolis Public Schools are collecting clothes for Goodwill as part of a pilot community service project. Students at Broad Ripple Magnet High School for the Arts and Humanities, Gambold Preparatory High School , Sidener Academy and Arsenal Tech High School are participating in the first-year project.
Through the end of this month, the schools will collect clothing and household goods and take them to one of the many Goodwill stores in the community. Each time a donation is made in the name of one of the participating schools, the school will receive credit. The school with the most donations at the end of the month will receive special recognition from Goodwill. Anyone can support this effort by making donations in the name of any of the four participating IPS schools.
