Spring clothing donation drive was a success
For independent living residents, a donation drive made for an excellent reason for an outing this past April. “A lot of residents have been excited to go out again,” said Ashley Goedeken, a life enrichment assistant at Wichita Presbyterian Manor. “They said, ‘You know, it would be good to spring clean our closets a bit, then drop off the clothes somewhere.’” Life Enrichment Director Amy Watson suggested Dress for Success, an organization that empowers women to achieve economic independence, in part by providing them with professional attire. On average, the nonprofit serves 425 women per year. Ashley created a flyer to get the word out about the donation drive DONATION– continued on page 2
