Spring is here! And so is FLC’s Second Annual Socks and Undies Drive!
Most of us take everyday items for granted, like having new shoes, clean underwear and socks. However, to some families in our community, these items are not so trivial. With schools open, the need for new undergarments is especially important for children in our area.
Socks and underwear are some of the most requested and least stocked items in our clothing banks. You can help Shelton schools clothe kids going back to school by donating NEW undergarments and shoes for girls and boys in all sizes!
More than fashionable accessories, wearing clean socks and underwear are essential for good hygiene and staying healthy. Harmful bacteria and fungi can flourish in dirty clothing, so let’s make sure our kids can feel comfortable and confident returning to school this spring.
A contribution of these basics is a powerful way to show kindness to a student in our community.
FLC is accepting donations of new socks, underwear and shoes now through April 4th. Donations can be dropped off during church and business hours, or at the drive-thru Sunday, March 28th and April 4th from 11:00 am to noon. If you don’t want to shop, you can donate cash or gift cards. I will shop for you!
For folks who can’t decide what to donate, here’s a wish list from one of the elementary schools.
Leggings for girls size 6 and 8
Sweatpants for boys size 6, 8 and 10
Shoes sizes boys 13 and 2; and girls size 1
Please call me if you have any questions: Donna Wardin at 360-358-8569.
