Quad Cities, USA: The ninth Annual Project Bundle Up Campaign helps meet the cold weather clothes needs of Quad Cities school children. This Collection Campaign is winding down for 2012, and The Salvation Army is asking for your donations.

On Saturday, November 3rd, both QC Iowa Wal-Marts will be hosting the Project Bundle Up Campaign from 10am - 5pm. Wal-Mart customers will be asked to purchase the items in the store and return them to the volunteers. This campaign has already taken place at the QC Illinois Wal-Marts.

In addition, items can be dropped off in NorthPark Mall at Guest Services in Younkers Court, or in SouthPark Mall at Guest Services located in the mall office until November 10th. The Salvation Army will deliver thousands of cold weather clothing items to Quad Cities' elementary & middle schools to fill the needs of students who arrive at school without these essential items. School teachers are on the frontlines watching for children who come to school without mittens & gloves, hats, socks, underwear, and scarves, and Project Bundle Up fills this need.
