Common Threads clothing sale will be Oct. 25-27 at Saint Mary’s

WINONA, Minn. — The sixth annual Common Threads clothing sale will be held Oct. 25-27 at Saint Mary’s University’s Hall of Fame Room, located in the Toner Student Center.

Gently used clothing and footwear for men, women, youth and infants will be available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 25, through Saturday, Oct. 27.

The cost is 50 cents per item or $4 for a paper bag full of items. The public is welcome.

The event is sponsored by the Office of Campus Ministry and the student Peace and Justice group. Each year the money raised — along with the leftover clothing from the sale — goes to local organizations that help those less fortunate. Last year approximately $355 was raised.

This year proceeds will go to the Winona Catholic Worker House and the SMU Peace and Justice group general fund.
