Great Pop-up Clothing Event in Bensenville

PRC partnered with Bensenville School District 2 to host its first ever Clothing Pop-up event at Tioga Elementary School in Bensenville recently! The event featured multiple tables of clothes donated by the community and PRC’s Clothes Closet. Bensenville families signed up to attend and choose items, similar to the process used at PRC’s Clothes Closet. More than 1,000 items were distributed to 229 individuals. This was a fantastic start to bringing our Clothes Closet Program out into the community. We look forward to doing this again!
