On March 29th, 2025, Forsyth County AYLUS members brought set up a table in front of the Read it Again Bookstore where people could donate formal clothes. AYLUS members and a few others donated business professional/business casual clothes, resulting in over 3 boxes of clothes. The members who set up the table and collected donations came at 2:00 p.m and stayed until 4:00 p.m with boxes and a flyer to advertise. Other AYLUS members donated as the partnership with the Read it Again Bookstore allowed members to collect ‘buy one get one free’ (BOGO) coupons upon donation.
A system where each piece of clothing donated was worth 30 service minutes was set up to encourage donations. The members spent time collecting the clothing and driving to the location to donate, but a limit of 8 pieces of clothing was set to disallow absurd numbers of hours.
