OUTREACH- Clothesline for Labrador-   We’ll be placing our clotheslines along the side windows of the sanctuary from February 5 until March 11, and we hope all can contribute an article of clothing, to be hung up.
We would especially like to collect new warm socks/sport socks for all ages, long johns, new packaged underwear, warm sleepwear, and other gently-worn clothing articles. We are not able to take larger articles of clothing, due to shipping space and costs.
We will also have boxes at least at the side entrance of the Church, to receive heavier clothing such as sweaters, warm fleece wear etc. These boxes will be in place until Mar.25, and then Liz Flogeras will be collecting the clothing to ship it on to our northern neighbours. We will sponsor a Coffee Hour later in March, asking for money donations toward the cost of shipping.
Please help us support these communities!  THANK YOU!
