Dick’s on Arenas holds clothing drive Wednesday for LA wildfire victims

Dick's on Arenas held a clothing drive Wednesday to support Rotary Clubs and ACME Moving and Storage in their efforts to help people affected by the Los Angeles wildfires.

The Palm Springs establishment collected new and lightly used sweaters, sweatshirts and light jackets, in addition to cash.

Dick's donated 25% of profits made during the three-hour collection window to Rotary's relief efforts.   

Travis Marker organized the clothing drive.

“I have a car full and then I also have multiple bags and suitcases in a garage,” Marker said. “It just makes you smile. Every person that comes up and brings something throws it in the box, you just get this smile.”
