Belt Donations Sought: The Charleston overnight warming center operated by the Salvation Army and United Way for
use by the homeless when temperatures drop below 15 degrees has a need for belts. If you have any utilitarian (not just
for fashion) belts, particularly men’s, that you would be willing to donate, a bin for receipt of belts is in the gathering
space. If you have a favorite thrift store, perhaps check there for some good deals on men’s belts.
