Prepare your favorite potluck salad, appetizer, main course, side dish or dessert to share (optional), and bring items to barbeque. Grills will be set up by the Palmer Woods Association (or bring your own). PWA will provide beverages, hotdogs and hamburgers. Bring lawn chairs, blankets, frisbees, softballs, footballs and musical instruments.

PAST EVENTS:
titlePalmer Woods Shared the Love and Donated Clothing to COTS. More than 40 families donated several hundred bags of clothing to COTS on Saturday, February 13, 2010 (Valentine’s weekend).
 
Volunteers Rob Dewaelsche, Craig Vanderburg, Corbin Vanderburg and Kevin Warfield picked up the donations from porches in Palmer Woods and filled a rented truck. Rob, Craig and Barbara Barefield delivered the clothing to an appreciative crowd at COTS, where an assembly line of volunteers helped to unload the truck and carry the bags inside.
 
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our clothing drive.
 
We hope to organize a clothing drive again, perhaps in the Spring. If you are interested in helping or will pledge items to donated, email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
 
Why this works: As times get tougher, many of us in Palmer Woods recognize our good fortune to have our homes, families and warm clothing. To assist others less fortunate, and seize an opportunity to clear our homes of  unneeded clothing, the Palmer Woods Association sponsored this clothing drive for COTS.

What is COTS?
COTS is a nonprofit organization that alleviates homelessness by providing an array of services that enable people to achieve self-sufficiency and obtain quality, affordable housing. COTS also advocates for long-term solutions to the problems of homelessness. Our “Share the Love” clothes collection project is a wonderful opportunity for Palmer Woods to show our support of COTS and the people of Detroit.    

In lieu of the annual monetary donation PWA makes to COTS from the proceeds of the Home Tour, the Board felt that this project would illustrate our commitment in assisting this outstanding organization. COTS and its growing number of recipients are in need more than ever before.

How Our Drive Worked (if we set up another drive, we will announce new dates)

1. Absolutely no later than Tuesday, February 9, contact Deborah Copeland, 313-369-1327 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to indicate that you have items to be picked up. Provide your name, address and contact information.

2.
Bag your items (clothing only) in plastic bags and leave at your front door.

3.
Items will be retrieved on Saturday, Feb. 13 between 10 am and 2 pm (Board members and volunteers will be handling pick-ups) and driven to COTS at its Petersboro location in Detroit.

4. Contributors will receive receipts that can be filled out for tax purposes.

Volunteer to Help
Volunteers (children too) are needed to assist in the pick-up and delivery. If unable to dedicate all four hours, any opportunity to assist is appreciated.
