OWASSO, Okla. — An Owasso clothing store is asking for denim donations to help support a good cause.
Maurices on 96th Street by the Walmart Supercenter is collecting gently used denim for the Owasso Baptist Children’s Home.
With every donation made, participants got a $10 coupon towards a new pair of jeans.
“We have decided this year to partner with the Baptist Children’s Home to help them with the kids, the teens, and moms in need there.” says Tammy Petro, Store Lead at Maurices.
Melissa Litke, Campus Director at Owasso Baptist Children’s Home, says they are thankful for their partnership with the clothing store and it really shows that the community cares.
Litke says the Children’s Home has been serving families and children in crisis in the Tulsa area for more than 50 year.
“We serve children ages 6 all the way up to 17, but we also serve single mothers and their children. Some of them have infants and toddlers. so as they mentioned, any size helps. Just for children and single moms who are going through difficult seasons it’s just so reassuring that people in your community care about you and that you’re seen even just through a simple pair of jeans.”
