Clothing Drive Challenges Kids to Collect for Charity; Winning Home Room Gets Tour at PBS
 Rucker |
The Salvation Army announced that Oak Hills High School and Bengals defensive end 
This is the second year that Rucker has challenged the students at Oak Hills to collect as much clothing as possible to benefit The Salvation Army. Last year the students collected more than 26,000 articles of clothing!
The Adult Rehabilitation Center operates two local Family Thrift Stores, the proceeds from which support the facility’s work with men recovering from substance abuse and other issues.
Students at Oak Hills High School are collecting clothing for two weeks, through November 18, 2011. The home room that has collected the most clothing at the end of the collection competition will receive a tour of Paul Brown Stadium, with Rucker as their personal tour guide. It’s a wonderful opportunity that is greatly enjoyed by the students.
“We’re delighted to have the support of Frostee and the Oak Hills community for this collection,” stated Major Nancy Beauchamp, administrator at the Adult Rehabilitation Center located in Norwood. “Our men face many challenges every day in their journey of recovery, and it’s wonderful that the students engage in the process of helping support them through this donation. Of course, we extend our deepest gratitude to Frostee, who has been a consistent advocate for The Salvation Army and the Adult Rehabilitation Center.”
Those interested in supporting The Salvation Army’s Adult Rehabilitation Center are asked to drop off clothing and gently-used household items at either Thrift Store location (Norwood or Eastgate), or at any Salvation Army collection bin, located at local Kroger stores and other generous partners.
