TRAVERSE CITY — Up North Pride is accepting winter clothing donations for a free community clothing closet at the Community Center at 314 E. Eighth St.

Executive Director Adrienne Brown-Reasner said the need for warm clothing increases as winter approaches and financial pressures rise.

“It’s no surprise that there is need this time of year, given weather and financial strain,” Brown-Reasner said. “We wanted to help however we could and recognized the best resource we have is our community.”

Brown-Reasner said the response has already exceeded expectations.

“There has already been an incredible response to our call for donations. In fact, we had to add more donation hours as we were hearing from people with items to give,” she said.

Staff and volunteers will sort donations this week. T
