New Hours for a Growing Need
The Phyllis Zumkehr County Clothing Center is excited to announce that it is expanding its hours to include Tuesdays from 5PM – 7PM! Beginning on Tuesday, June 3rd, we would love to see you visit during these new hours to look around and learn more about the Center’s dedication to meeting the needs of Portage County and beyond.
The expanded schedule means that the Center will once again be open four days a week. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, it will remain open from 10 AM – 1PM, with the added Tuesday times from 5PM – 7PM. As demand continues to grow, the center is hoping to continue this trend and stay open for a full five days a week.
The evening hours mark an inclusive step forward, accommodating the needs of people who would have been unavailable during the day. “Our community has spoken, and we are answering the call by expanding our hours to ensure more people have access to the resources they need,” said a Center representative. “We’re especially hopeful this change will help working individuals and families who’ve struggled to access the store in the past.”
