Each fall and spring, the Rotary Club of Canfield collects clothing for those in need. Once collected, the clothing is sorted, packed and distributed to Appalachia, Indian Reservation, Central America and India.

Thanks to the donations of the Canfield community, Rotarians and members of the Canfield High School Interact worked together Oct. 9 to make the clothing drive a success.

The Poor of the Poorest project was developed almost 20 years ago by Girard-Liberty Rotarian S.P. Wright.
