The Soos Creek PTA community will use the proceeds to build a reading garden for its students. They are also looking forward to partnering with some of the teachers to provide family fitness evenings once a month. Remaining funds will be put aside to begin enrichment programs. Arts and science clubs are a few of the organization’s goals.

“We are thrilled to be able to help Soos Creek Elementary School PTA in its time of need,” said Joyce Showalter, with Clothes for the Cause. “Clothes for the Cause and Soos Creek Elementary School PTA make it easy for everyone in our community to contribute by collecting things, free of charge, that our friends, family and neighbors already have in their houses.”
