Alida Sarabia, mother of Tony Sarabia of Panora, was visiting from Chicago. While here, she crocheted more than a dozen children’s scarves that she donated to the Children’s Clothing Closet (3C’s) in Panora.
The 3C’s organization relies solely on donations of clothing, bedding, towels and toys for children and families in the area. Cash donations are used to purchase new underwear and socks. 3C’s continues to be blessed with strong community support. Anyone wishing to donate items may drop them off on Tuesday mornings or call Connie Ridgley at 641-755-2018. 3C’s is located north of the Panora United Methodist Church at 119 E. Main St.
“I want the community to know how thankful 3C’s is for all of the support we receive throughout the year,” said Connie Ridgley, who leads 3C’s.
