One local school is choosing to spend the holiday season giving back.

Starting this week, West Orange High School is putting together a clothing drive to help those in need.

The school is looking for gently worn clothing items that are free of stains, odors, or damage.

All donations from the clothing drive will go to The Mustard Seed of Central Florida.

According to The Mustard Seed's website, the non-profit helps to rebuild the lives of families and individuals who have suffered disaster or personal tragedy.

The organization completes this mission by providing household furnishings and clothing, while being environmentally responsible, to the community.

Clothing items will be collected from Monday, Nov. 8, through Friday, Nov. 19.

Donations can be dropped off at the school in room 611 or room 536.
