The Brown Cow Ice Cream Parlor has partnered with the Emergency
Clothes Closet. The Brown Cow urges you to bring in donations of adult coats, hats, mittens, boots and warm clothes and in return you’ll receive a FREE KIDDY SCOOP of ice cream at the Brown Cow Ice Cream Parlor. They will be accepting donations through December 31, 2010.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
The need for warm, durable clothing is great in our community! The Emergency Clothes Closet strives to meet that need and YOUR help is essential in being able to do so. We’ve put together a list of fun, creative ways you can support the ECC with clothing donations and/or monetary donations. Have a creative idea of your own? Please email it to jill@emergencyclothescloset.com and we’ll add it to the list!
Auction Party– Invite people to bring items from home they no longer want (home décor, clothing, etc.). Have someone play “auctioneer” and take bids on each item. One person we know invited 15 people and raised $600.00 in just 2 hours!
Holiday Party – Pick a holiday to celebrate (Christmas, New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, etc.). Ask guests to bring a donation instead of a hostess gift.
Company Clothing Drives – Instead of Secret Santa gifts, hold a clothing drive at the office. Or charge “admission” to the company holiday party. The price? A donation to the ECC.
Donation Location- Designate your house as an official drop-off location for ECC clothing donations. Put flyers in your neighbor’s mailboxes. Send Facebook invites to your Friends.

Sweet Honey in the Rock Performance with American Sign Language interpretation

“Rooted in the rich textures of African American legacy and traditions, Sweet Honey In The Rock® possesses a stunning vocal prowess that captures the complex sounds of Blues, spirituals, traditional gospel hymns, rap, reggae, African chants, Hip Hop, ancient lullabies and jazz improvisation.
Sweet Honey’s collective voice, occasionally accompanied by hand percussion instruments, produces a sound filled with soulful harmonies and intricate rhythms. In the best and in the hardest of times, Sweet Honey In The Rock has come in song to communities across the U.S., and around the world raising her voice in hope, love, justice, peace, and resistance.” (http://www.dom.edu/pac/sweethoney.html)
