Items being sought include gently used Trenton Bulldog apparel to be shared through Pass the Pride and gently used gym shoes for elementary school students. These items can be dropped off at the Community Action Partnership of North Central Missouri Office or placed in collection boxes at Hy-Vee or Rissler Elementary School.
Bright Futures Trenton is also accepting gently worn, clean clothing for preschool through high school students, which can be dropped off at the First Baptist Church on Oklahoma Avenue during business hours. The donations will be accepted through August 1st.
