GALION — Galion City Schools‘ family engagement coordinator Jessica Berger has announced the launch of a new campaign aimed at restocking the district’s Tiger Closets.

The initiative will kick off at the upcoming 3rd Friday in Galion events, sponsored by the Galion-Crestline Chamber of Commerce. 

The campaign invites the community to donate new or gently used Galion Spirit Wear and sweatpants, plus new packaged socks and underwear of all sizes.

These items will support students in need throughout the school district, ensuring they have access to appropriate clothing for both school and extracurricular activities. 

Donations can be dropped off at the 3rd Friday in Galion events on the following dates: 

● June 21

● July 19

● Aug.16

The donation booth will be open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on each of these dates. 

The 3rd Friday in Galion events are an opportunity for the community to come together, enjoy local entertainment, and support a variety of local initiatives.

For more information about the campaign or how to get involved, call Jessica Berger at 419-468-3134, ext. 13550.
