The Downtown Elkhart Merchant Alliance is hosting the Downtown Elkhart Cares clothing drive.

They’re collecting new and gently used interview clothing, shoes, and jewelry.

Donations can be dropped off at participating businesses, Stephenson’s of Elkhart, Hopman Jewelers, Hotel Elkhart , Bella’s Boutique, The Vine, The Bookworm, Golden Bear Bikes, Centier Bank Downtown Elkhart, Corazon Sterling Silver, Elkhart Living Magazine, Wellfield Botanical Gardens, Heritage Acceptance, The Twisted String, and D&L’s Pounds of Gold.

Organizers say the driver is for residents re-entering the workforce.

It’s happening from September 5 through 17.
