Thrift sale to benefit treatment center

The Utah Valley State College Center for Service and Learning will hold their annual clothing thrift sale to raise funds for the Utah Family Support and Treatment Center Feb. 16-17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the UVSC Hall of Flags.

"The exciting thing about this event is that it is completely student driven," said Alexis Palmer, coordinator for the UVSC Center for Service and Learning. "The student leaders decide on a local nonprofit organization with desperate financial needs and then organize the entire sale."

Clothes may be donated at the Sorenson Student Center SC 101.
