Supporting Scholars Donate Over 600 Items To Cambria County Clothing Boutique

Members of Pennsylvania Highlands Community College’s Supporting Scholars recently donated over 600 items to the Cambria County Clothing Boutique as a part of their Spring Service Project.

The Scholars created collection boxes and received donations through the month of March at multiple College locations. The items included pants, hangers, combs, toothbrushes, and more.

“After I learned of the Cambria County Clothing Boutique’s mission, it really hit close to home,” stated Carole VanMeter, Director of the Foundation. “They are making a great impact in the local community, so we jumped at the chance to help them out.”

The Cambria County Clothing Boutique provides seasonal and school appropriate attire, as well as hygiene products, to school districts within Cambria County. The goal is to ensure that all children are adequately dressed for learning.

“We were flattered by the donations,” stated Lisa Campbell, Founder of Cambria County Clothing Boutique. “It was great because it was items we truly need. Pants and hygiene products are so important for the children, and most times, we can hardly keep them in stock, but they are going to where they are most needed.”

Interested donors can reach out to the Cambria County Clothing Boutique via its website, Facebook, or Instagram.
