For the bus drivers who work for Durham School Services in Elizabethtown, community is everything. Not only do they give their time to transporting students to and from school, but now they also have created an event to give back. Durham's first community clothing giveaway will be held on Saturday, March 25, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of the business, 2202 S. Market St., Elizabethtown. "We are passionate about our jobs and like to help to give back to the community," said Stacy Moore, a driver and one of the event organizers.

The clothing giveaway will be open to anyone, but organizers hope it is attended most by people in need. Donations are curently sought. "We are hoping to get clothes in all sizes, from babies and kids to men's and women's clothing," Moore stated, noting that Durham has been collecting donations for several weeks. "We're also hoping to have some household necessities and baby items."

She explained that the idea for the clothing giveaway came from the drivers themselves. "The drivers will often bring in clothes or household items that they no longer want," Moore explained. "They would set them on a table we have in our break room for other drivers to go through. We figured, 'Why not do a big drive for the public?'"

The Durham employees have held other community events in the past, including a craft and vendor show. Bingo is planned for Sunday, April 16, at the American Legion Post 34, 1388 Arcadia Road, Lancaster. Doors will open at noon, and bingo will start at 2 p.m.

Moore said she and her fellow drivers enjoy contributing to their community, and they hope to get a good crowd at the clothing giveaway. "This is a judgment-free place," she stated. "Anyone who is in need or knows of anyone in need is more than welcome to stop out and see what we have."
