Jessie’s Closet hosts gift and clothing drive

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The drive is ending December 10th, but the non-profit organization is encouraging people to continue donating throughout the year.

Since it first opened in 2013, Jessie's Closet has made it its mission to support children in foster care through drives like this one.

People are encouraged to donate toys, clothes, undergarments, and socks to the closet, which will all go directly to foster kids.

The store director, Karen Liles, said that for some foster kids, they may have never experienced Christmas, and how much impact any donation can make.

Liles also wanted to thank the Yuma Rotary Club for all of the work they have done in supporting the organization and this drive.
