CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSETS!
A USAgain box is currently located on the west corner of Renz Center’s 1 American Way parking lot.
Clean out your closet, donate unwanted clothing, shoes, purses, drapes, rugs…and USAgain will find a use for them, keeping them out of the landfill.
Plus, Renz Center will get a small donation! Thank you!
