Nov. 21—The Noon Optimists' "Clothe-A-Child" auction will be held online this year from Thanksgiving Day through Dec. 4

The children, depending on their needs, will receive a new coat, hoodie, shirt, pants, socks and underwear. All proceeds from the "Clothe-A-Child" Drive go to buying new clothes for almost 900 needy children.

Those interested can go to terrehauteclotheachild.com.

Local businesses have donated dozens of items for the auction. Some of the items include a 3-Piece Set of Living Room Tables from Glidden Furniture; a Frigidaire chest freezer from Ace Washer; Sterling Silver Blue Topaz Pendant from Ross Elliott Jewelers; a Laser Copier from Staples a year's worth of pizza from Pizza Hut; an autographed ISU football; an autographed ISU basketball.
