South Bend, IN – From January 9 -20, the South Bend Community School Corporation schools will be participating in the Extreme Closet Makeover program, where students and their families can bring their donations to the schools and drop them in the large blue bins at each school.

This is an easy way for them to recycle items in their homes that will in turn keep people in our community working! The winning school system will be based on how much WEIGHT is donated by their schools, and a Traveling Trophy will be awarded. Parents are asked to take a picture of their child's closet before AND after, then submit their photos to Peg VanNevel at pvannevel@goodwill-ni.org.
