    Do you have a need for women’s clothing? My Mother passed away in Prairie du Chien and she had beautiful clothes (mostly, large, x-large, size 14/16, some petite). We are hoping to find a place that could use the donation. If not your organization, can you please refer us to another? Thank you, Mary
