OREM, Utah — Stepping up to help each other make ends meet, the Orem community is helping families get things they need this winter through a clothing swap. Monday evening at Lakeridge Junior High, families picked out items and filled bags with clothes, jackets, shoes, books and more. “It’s a blessing to be here, to be able to have them get the clothes they need and be able to give back too,” said Alyssa Dixon, a mom of three.
”Families brought clothes their kids outgrew or don’t wear anymore, and got to pick up new ones. 'It feels pretty good because you don't have to pay for it,” said Lia Atondo, an eighth-grader at Lakeridge.Last year, the swap was only at one school. This year they expanded to more schools because they saw a need and have been collecting donations since September.'It’s filling a need,” added Madsen.
