Youth Clothing and Supply Ingathering – February 2021 Outreach Project
Now through the end of February, St. Matthew’s is gathering new clothing for children ages infant through age 12 to be sent to St. Timothy’s Episcopal Outreach Center in Kentucky for distribution in this impoverished Appalachian area. This year, we will be sharing the collection with Cradles to Crayons, a local charity that provides for local impoverished children.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
- Purchase brand-new clothing and drop it off in the boxes by the kitchen, or outside St. Matthew’s (919 Tennis Ave, Maple Glen) in the plastic bins at the lower parking lot entrance to the Narthex.
- Purchase brand-new clothing via an online retailer or Amazon (see our Wish List for options) and send it to Tim Walsh. His home address is 126 Morning Walk Dr., Warrington PA 18976.
- Make a donation through our online giving page by choosing “Layette Offering” from the dropdown menu (or click on the button below), and we will purchase clothing for you!
- We will be collecting until February 28.
- Questions? Reach out to Tim Walsh via email or contact the Parish Office at 215-646-4092.
