Your clothes can help fuel the future success of Coupeville High School basketball.

Wolf junior Makana Stone, the reigning MVP of the Olympic League, is raising funds to cover expenses for her select basketball team, and you can help by simply doing a bit of spring cleaning.

Working with a program called Clothes for the Cause, Stone and her teammates are participating in a textile collection drive.

The goal is for each player to have 1,500 pounds of donations (50 bags, with each bag holding 30 pounds) by April 25.

They are accepting clothing (any kind/any condition), shoes (any kind/any condition), towels (bath, kitchen rags), sheets, blankets, quilts/drapery, purses, belts (synthetic/leather), tablecloths, place mats and stuffed animals.

But, it’s a no go on glass, breakables, electronics, pet beds, bed pillows, carpeting, uniforms or hotel linens.

Making your life even easier, Makana and her family will pick up your donations.

If interested (and you better be) call her mom, Eileen, at 320-3756.
