CLEARFIELD – The Clearfield Area United Way recently delivered 200 books, as part of its Reading Ripples Project, to the Sneaker Closet to replace books that were lost in recent Clearfield flooding.
Shown accepting the books is Jeanie Jacobs, Trinity United Methodist Church treasurer. She explained that children up to age 18 years receive a new pair of sneakers, socks and a gently-used book when they attend the Sneaker Closet, located inside the church.
United Way helps 24 local member agencies throughout eastern, southern and central Clearfield County, all of which benefit from CAUW funds.
Tax-deductible donations can be made to CAUW, 18 N. Second St., P.O. Box 1430, Clearfield, PA 16830.
