Each Tuesday and Thursday for the rest of the month, the Dauphin Neighbourhood Renewal is holding a clothing drive.
Amanda Novak is the executive director at the DNRC.
"It's that time of year when people are cleaning out their closets," said Novak. "The reason we're doing the clothing drive is that we're supporting the Little Neighbours Play Space steering committee. It's a fundraiser to help raise money to get the play structure moved from Parkland Crossing into our auditorium."
You can drop off items between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. They're accepting gently used clothing for all ages. They must be clean and in good condition.
"Please don't bring us stuff that needs to go on to greener pastures," added Novak. "We have volunteers who are helping with this. It's already a lot of work to sort through everything."
The clothes will be on sale during the City of Dauphin's community yard sale on Saturday, May 30. You can head to the DNRC on that day and purchase a bag for $5. From there, you fill up the bag and head on the road happy.
Their fundraising goal is $110,000 plus tax.
"We're over $40,000. We have a few outstanding grants that we're hoping to receive feedback on soon," ended Novak. "The steering committee is working on meeting with employers and organizations to give them a chance to sponsor or be a part of our name recognition opportunity."
If you're interested in becoming a part of it, you can call 701-1110.
The plan is to open the Little Neighbours Play Space on August 1, 2026.
