All are welcome to the River View clothing giveaway
By Josie Sellers
River View High School students Bobbi Rahn and Lanie Nickerson have been collecting donations for months and are getting ready to host a clothing giveaway .
The annual River View Local School District project was started in 2015 by Jodi Shrimplin and is now passed down to students as a senior project .
“ Last year I shadowed and saw how big of an impact this can make ,” said Rahn , who is a senior . “ I knew I wanted to be involved .”
This year Nickerson , who is a sophomore , is learning the ropes from Rahn so she can continue the project her junior and senior year . Helping them along the way is project mentor Amy Jo Johnson .
Pretty Products Employees will meet at The Eagles at 5:00pm , Friday , April 14 th BF-92192
“ This really helps people who need it ,” Nickerson said .
The giveaway will be held Saturday , April 15 from 11 a . m . to 4 p . m . at Roscoe United Methodist Church . In the past the giveaway was held at RVHS .
“ We wanted to centralize the location ,” Rahn said . “ Everything will be free . We will try to supply people with bags , but we encourage everyone to try to bring their own .”
Donations for the event were collected from students at River View ’ s elementary , junior high and high school buildings .
“ We probably have 40 of the industrial-size trash bags and altogether 70 bags ,” Rahn said . “ My room is full .”
