SUBJECT: Approve Resolution Authorizing Temporary Closure of Ritter Street From
Lincoln Avenue to Third Street September 21, 2013 From Sam to 6pm, to Support
Goodwill -Ritter Center Give "n" Clothe Household Goods Drive
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution authorizing closure of the following City Street for the
Goodwill -Ritter Center Give "n" Clothe Household Goods Drive on Saturday, September 21, 2013
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
BACKGROUND: This is the sixth successful year of this event between two neighboring non -profits
partners in San Rafael, Goodwill and the Ritter Center which have joined forces to create a major donor
drive. The event re -named this year as "Give "n" Clothe Household Goods Drive" is now a county wide
event because of the success in San Rafael. The event is also occurring in Terra Linda, Novato and Mill
Valley locations simultaneously on the same day. The 2012 San Rafael event raised $5600.00 dollars in
vouchers for the Ritter House clients while supplying Goodwill with much needed donations to support its
operation.
In six years the total number is approaching $40,000 thousand dollars in San Rafael. This year will
combine a major outreach by Goodwill to get clothing and donated items in mutual support of the Ritter
Center and the local San Rafael Goodwill in a consolidated one day effort.
By closing Ritter Street, Goodwill and Ritter Center members will process an increased volume of donors
along Ritter Street for this one day this year, on September 21st. Signage will direct donors to Ritter
Street by entering at Third and Lincoln, and then will be directed to exit back on to Third Street west of the
entrance after the donations have been processed by volunteers on Ritter Street. There were no
noticeable negative traffic impacts reported during any of the previous year's events.
