Description
Children's Shoes, Socks, and Blanket Drive
Saturday, July 24, 2010
On Saturday, July 24, volunteers from Old St. Pat's will leave Chicago for Nicaragua to participate in a service trip. The volunteers have developed some great activities to benefit the children of Fabretto. Most of the children do not own shoes, so we would really love to be able to provide each child (total of 600 children) with a pair of gym shoes, socks, and a blanket. Fabretto has cut funding in certain programs in order to put money towards shoes for the children. By donating new or gently used shoes, you are not only directly helping 10 percent of the children, but you are also helping the bottom line.
Please drop-off your donation outside Old St. Pat's on Sunday, June 13. Fabretto will host the Hospitality Table that day.
Your donation will make a big difference for the children we are serving. Thank you for your continued kindness.
Help us reach and exceed our goal by donating the following:
• new or gently used children's gym shoes (grades K-8);
• new children's socks;
• new fleece blankets;
• $5 sponsorship will buy a packet of socks;
• $10 sponsorship will buy a blanket;
• $15 sponsorship will buy socks and a blanket;
• $25 will buy a pair of gym shoes;
• $40 will buy a pair of gym shoes, socks, and a blanket.
