The DeKalb West School Junior Beta Club lent a helping hand Saturday (October 20) to the Smithville First Baptist Church Clothing Closet. Marshall Farler, Aniston Farler, Aly Griffith, Madison Martin, Chloe Dies, Kolton Slager, Evan Prichard, Alex Antoniak, and his brother, Brayden Antoniak from D.C.H.S. sorted and hung up clothes and books that the community had donated.
Sponsored by Smithville F-B-C, the Clothing Closet assists people who are referred from Department of Children’s Services, Haven of Hope, Recovery Court, and Head Start. Since 2011, the Clothes Closet has strived to help needy families in DeKalb County, but the organization reaches out to a variety of other organizations in the state and around the world.
