COLLECTING ITEMS FOR CHARITY

Giving back to the community is an important aspect of our theatre.  We collect items to donate to a variety of local charities and organizations on an ongoing basis.  Some of these include Clawson Food Pantry, Gleaners Food Bank, Lighthouse, South Oakland Shelter, items for homebound senior citizens and items for animals at various shelters and rescues. Everyone is welcome to donate items whenever they like, but it is never required.

If anyone would like to donate nonperishable food items, toiletries, etc. for local food pantries and shelters and/or items for the animals (dog or cat food, dog or cat toys, collars, leashes, carriers, bedding, old sheets, towels or blankets, cat litter, newspapers, paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc.), please feel free to bring in any of the above items to any of our classes, workshops and events. We will collect items on an ongoing basis, so please feel free to donate as often as you would like!

We have a collection box located at Clawson City Hall and we will also be collecting items during our murder mystery production of “Murder’s in the Heir” on March 27, 28 and 29 at Kirk in the Hills.  Please feel free to leave items in our collection box (you can leave both animal items and other items in the same collection box).

*If anyone would like to donate directly to Lighthouse or to I Heart Dogs Rescue & Animal Haven, please click on the links below for more information about each organization and to view their wish lists.  Items for each organization can be dropped off in person or delivered directly through Amazon.*
