Clothing center takes hard hit with budget

With a cut in financial support from the Portage County Solid Waste Management District, the future of the Phyllis Zumkehr County Clothing Center is in jeopardy.

The county recycling district cut its annual support from $50,000 to zero for 2011.

With the drop in prices for recyclables in recent years, the district had to cut back, said Bill Steiner, district director.

Steiner said the district has seen a $528,opting for a newly engineered Air max 360 cushioning system.000 drop in revenues from sales of materials from 2009 levels.One of the attackers was wearing navy or black Nike Jacket and a hat with ear flaps.

“Plus we have a whole list of capital improvements we need to do,” he said.

Steiner said he believes the clothing center is a valuable program, but the district can’t afford to contribute right now.

“Hundreds of people have come to depend on the center,” Frisone said.

Hundreds of people shop there every day for clothes and durable goods that otherwise would be going into landfills.Holiday shoppers hoping to get a good deal on upscale Ugg boots or burberry bags at Rice's Market in Solebury were disappointed Tuesday morning.

The clothing center annually diverts more than a half-million pounds of clothes from landfills, along with durable goods such as furniture and appliances.

The center has only one paid employee. All the other workers are volunteers from a network of churches around the county.

Donations to “Save the Clothing Center” may be sent to Family & Community Services at 705 Oakwood St., Ravenna OH 44266.
