Early Wednesday morning, Central Iowa Shelter drove up to Ames and picked up discontinued clothes products from Sigler Companies. The donation totaled more than $100,000 in warm clothing such has sweaters and long-sleeved shirts.
Central Iowa Shelter agreed to take all the donations and what cannot be used or stored at the shelter will be paid forward to other nonprofits that can benefit from the warm clothes.
The employees are “very happy that the clothing will keep someone warm this winter,” said Terri Hasselman, director of finance.
The Shelter serves between 120 and 130 people a night and expects to see that number increase as winter comes this year. If you’d like to get involved, visit our volunteer page or our top needs page for ways to support homeless adults in Central Iowa.
Thank you Sigler Companies!
