“Save the Closet”, founder Katy Lingle says it’s the organization’s responsibility to host at least one local free clothing drive a year as Bay County has always and continues to support her non-profit.

“This is our home, and Bay County is the reason we exist,” said Lingle. “Their donations give us the ability to serve these other communities and states. So I think it’s important to bring it home at least once a year to thank the local community for their continued support and donations.”
