Trion and Chattooga Fellowship of Christian Athletes are partnering with the Tim Tebow Foundation to help local participants prepare for the upcoming Night to Shine through a formal wear clothing drive.

The community is being asked to donate new or lightly used formal wear in all sizes, including dresses, dress shirts and pants, shoes, jewelry and skirts. The donated items will allow Night to Shine participants to “shop” for outfits ahead of the event.

Donations will be collected during the Night to Shine gathering at Fields of Faith on Wednesday, October 14, at the Trion High School football field. The event begins at 6:30 PM.

Night to Shine is designed to celebrate individuals with special needs and provide a prom-style experience. Organizers are also seeking volunteers and people willing to serve as buddies during the event.

The local Night to Shine is scheduled for February 27, 2027, at Connect City Church.

Those interested in volunteering or helping with the event can email connectcity.summerville@gmail.com

CRC Chattooga Seeking Men’s Clothing Donations

CRC Chattooga is asking the community to help restock its Clothes Closet, with a special need right now for men’s clothing and shoes.

The organization recently shared the story of a guest who came in hoping to find something many people may take for granted — a pair of shoes that actually fit. After finding a pair in the Clothes Closet, she was so excited that she told volunteers she did not want to take them off, even to sleep. CRC officials said the moment was a reminder of how much a simple donation can mean to someone in need.

CRC Chattooga’s Clothes Closet operates much like a free thrift store for the families the organization serves. Clothing, shoes, household goods, personal care products and other donated non-food necessities are available through a point system, but there is no charge to the families receiving the items.

Right now, the organization is especially looking for gently used men’s shirts, jeans, pants, jackets, shoes and other clothing.

CRC Chattooga is encouraging local residents to take a look through their closets and consider donating items they no longer wear. An unused shirt or pair of shoes could make an important difference for a neighbor who needs it.

Donations may be taken to CRC Chattooga at 50 Eleanor Avenue in Summerville.
