Every Fall, St. Gregory’s sponsors a parish-wide clothing drive to support our neighbor, Barnett Shoals Elementary School. Again this year, school personnel have devoted extra time to reviewing prioritized clothing needs for the schools’ clothes closets. Your contributions of any of the following items will make a difference:
DESPERATELY NEEDED: boys’ and girls’ pants and shorts - All sizes, but especially youth sizes 4-10. Need easy to wear, elastic waist shorts, pants and girls’ leggings.
ALWAYS NEEDED: girls’ underwear, especially sizes 4/5 and 8-16, S-XL; boys’ underwear, sizes 4-16, XS-XL.
NEW REQUESTS: New or lightly-used, closed-toe kids’ shoes. Boys’ and girls’ sizes 10/10.5-3 (younger kids) and 3.5-7 (older kids). Unopened toiletry items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand soap, deodorant, shampoo, etc.).
NOTE: Socks and shirts are not needed this year. We have done a great job of supplying those in previous years.
Donations will be collected from Wednesday, October 1 through Sunday, November 2 in the boxes located in the lobby of the Parrish Hall. If you have any questions, please contact Gail Eilers, eilersgail@gmail.com, or Jane Sheridan, jsheridan@friendlycity.net. Thank you, in advance, for your support.
