GREENetwork New Textile Drop-Off Wellness is now providing a convenient, continuous way to move out the clothes and textile clutter in your closet. Home Sweet Home Ministries (HSHM) is providing a collection bin just outside of the Wellness Office at Shirk Center. You can now drop off unwanted clothing, textiles and shoes. These items will go back to HSHM and be sorted. Usable items will be sold in the Mission Mart, and items past their useful life will be recycled into new textiles and goods. All the proceeds from these efforts go to assist the homeless members of our community.  If you have any questions, please contact Wellness at ext. 3334 or wellness@iwu.edu  Additionally, if you have winter coats or winter wear to give away, APO will be collecting these items for the Salvation Army during the week of Oct. 22-26.
