It’s time again for the annual parish-wide drive, sponsored by your Outreach Committee, to help our neighbor, Barnett Shoals Elementary School, provide students with items they need to attend and succeed in school. Because you have done such an amazing job in previous years of outfitting Clothes Closets for these student, their list of requests is a little different this year. Please note that the school DOES NOT NEED: shirts of any type, pajamas, socks, sweaters or jackets or any clothing not suitable for school.
PRIORITY ITEM: SHORTS/ PANTS- All sizes, but especially youth sizes 4-12/14. Easy-wear items, such as elastic waist shorts, leggings, and athletic pants for boys and girls are desperately needed!
OTHER NEEDS:
UNDERWEAR - Boys and Girls sizes 4-16 (XS-XL). Sports bras or tank tops with built-in support, in a variety of sizes, are also needed.
Like-new closed-toe athletic SHOES between the sizes of little kids’ 9-12.
Unopened, full-size (not Travel-size) TOILETRY ITEMS, such as soap, deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo (especially for curls and coils), etc.
Extra, unused, disposable DIAPERS & PULL-UPS for children. Does not have to be a full, unopened package. Extras are welcome.
ALARM CLOCKS - Basic, electric with backup battery. Available at Walmart (for example) for approximately $12. The school gets many requests for these to help students get to school on time.
Donations will be collected from October 4 through November 1 in the boxes located in the lobby of the Parrish Hall. If you have any questions, please contact Gail Eilers. Thank you, in advance, for your support and amazing generosity.
