Toronto-based preloved online clothing store, Lode, is busy preparing for its bi-annual Spring/Summer clothing drive and is now accepting donations from the community. Lode's clothing drive will offer gender-inclusive clothing for children between the ages of 0-12.
The bi-annual clothing drive will be donating free clothing to Toronto families. For this year's clothing drive, Lode is accepting donations for all kid's sizes, monetary donations for gift cards, plastic storage containers, and cardboard boxes on April 24th, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm at its 62 McGee Street location in Toronto.
On the clothing drive donation day, Lode will offer a 'pay what you wish' clothing section and 100% of the proceeds will go towards the clothing drive initiative.
