World Wear Donation Incentive
It is that time of year when World Wear Project offers an incentive of $100 to each and every school that is able to collect 2,500 lbs. or more of shoes, clothing and other items we accept during the month of November in conjunction with American/Texas Recycles Month.
Dove Elementary is proud to partner with World Wear, and you can find the World Wear Bin behind Dove, next to the Dove Dads shed. So, clean out those closets, donate to the World Wear Bin in November, and help our school earn an additional $100!!
