PHOENIX -- If you've thought about cleaning out your closet, the Salvation Army is teaming up with a Valley businessman to collect clothing for people who are homeless put their best foot forward at job interviews.
Cary Lockwood, founder of
YourAutoNetwork.com, is working with the Salvation Army to spread the word about 50 clothing drop off locations around the Valley.
