MARQUETTE, Mich. (WZMQ) – Spread Goodness Day’s 7th annual Bundle Up Marquette event is now collecting winter clothing donations.
Five participating locations around the area now have a colorful box at their front doors, accepting all kinds of warm winter apparel through November 25:
- Bennett Media Group, Washington Street
- Jimmy John’s, US 41 location
- Marquette Food Coop
- Range Bank, Front Street
- LoveMarq Church
Shopping is available on Saturday, November 28 at Sandy Knoll Elementary from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with an opportunity to help yourself. Organizers say each year, close to a thousand items are up for grabs.
“Most of it is gently used winter clothing and a lot of it is brand new, which is amazing” said Bennett Media Group Senior Account Manager Christopher Lemkuil. “We’re always blown away every year by all of the support the community gives for this.”
The pickup day will also be conducted privately, away from any media presence. All donations remaining will be donated to NMU Ripple Effect for their student free closet.
