Clothing FunDrive
This is perhaps the easiest way for students to earn money for their band accounts. Just collect and bag up used textiles. This includes used clothing, shoes, purses, belts, towels, clothes, stuffed animals, curtains, tablecloths, gloves, hats and drapes. The textiles can be in new condition or not. All they ask is that there are NO blankets, linens, rugs, pillows, pet beds, wet, or filthy items. Bag your clothes making sure that each bag weighs 20 pounds white tall kitchen bags work well and are about 20 pounds when full. Then approximately once a month there will be a drop off time. Each bag will earn $4.40 or .22 a pound for their account.
