Ken-Ton Parent Association Ken-Ton Closet

    In January 2013, the Ken-Ton Parent Association (KTPA) founded a program known as the Ken-Ton Closet.


     


    This initiative organizes the collection of clothing (new and gently used), toiletries and school supply donations and distributes them for no cost to the children living with Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda. Donations are not tax-deductible at this time and the Closet does not accept cash donations.

    The Closet has begun collections and is currently developing strategies for identification of and delivery to children in need. As these plans are finalized, information will be posted on the Ken Ton Closet web page.

    Upcoming collection event [9]
    We are planning to present our project to the Village of Kenmore (Board meeting February 19th) and Town of Tonawanda (Board meeting February 25th). The project is housed at the Sheridan Parkside Building (169 Sheridan Parkside, Tonawanda); donations can be delivered between the hours of 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. (enter front of building and check in at table) and through various other collection events throughout the area. Collection events will be posted on the Facebook page and Ken-Ton Closet Home page.


    If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to Jill O’Malley, Director KTPA/Ken-Ton Closet, at jillomalley@ktpa.org.
