BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
A clothing giveaway led by neighbors, for neighbors.
“Sometimes people take it for granted that everyone has got what they need out here, especially in America, because we’re so blessed that even our dumpsters are blessed, that’s what I always say.”
I’m Alberto Camargo in the Northwest Tallahassee neighborhood.
I’m checking out a free clothes drive by a local nonprofit that one volunteer called the definition of community.
Earlier this week, we told you that Lemondrop — a local nonprofit — has been struggling to meet the demand for their services.
After asking the community for donations, they were able to host Sunday’s clothing giveaway.
