Wilbraham Friends of the Library (WFOL), a non-profit committed to raising funds for the Wilbraham Public Library, is holding a clothing and textile drive on Saturday, October 4, 2025 from 8:30 – 11:30 AM.
During back-to-school season, remember the WFOL as you sort through your kids closets and drawers. And don’t stop there…clean out that linen closet and the old dresser in the guest room. Bag up all the extra clothing and textiles that are just clogging up your home. Clothing, shoes, purses, sheets & blankets, curtains – give them a new lease on life!
Millions of pounds of clothing and household textiles used to end up in U.S. landfills each year. Current Massachusetts laws ban disposal of textiles, easing the burden on landfills but leaving some to wonder just what to do with it all. The WFOL Clothing & Household Textile Drive gives you the opportunity to take responsible action through donations and upcycling.
The Friends will receive a per pound payment for these items which will go directly to the library for programs, museum passes, equipment, and other needed items. The donated items will be given a second life with new owners – at an affordable price - instead of adding to the already overwhelming landfill situation.
Join us with your clothing drive donations on October 4, learn more about the Friends, and receive a coupon for a free book at our Annual Book Sale which is scheduled to take place in May 2026.
