Generous donors give to Mary Lee Tucker Clothe-A-Child

To date, The Morning Journal’s Mary Lee Tucker Clothe-A-Child campaign has collected nearly $39,000 thanks to the generosity of our readers and sponsors.

Members of the Clothe-A-Child shopped for 240 youngsters between the ages of 4 and 12 at Meijer in Lorain and Sandusky, and JC Penney in Avon.

Thank you to major sponsors Meijer, which donated $5,000 to the program, and Northwest Bank donated more than $5,000 to assist with the shopping.
