Jacket and Warm Clothing Drive
From now through the end of November, we are collecting warm clothing, primarily outerwear, in support of the International Students Admission & Enrollment Office (ISAEO) of the Prince George’s County School System. ISAEO registers and provides support services for newly arrived international PGCPS students and their families. They've registered close to 3,000 students so far, including large families from Afghanistan, Venezuela, Guatemala, Mexico, and Cameroon. These families often arrive with almost nothing, and need clothing appropriate for Maryland winters. You can help these children and their families by donating new or gently used coats and jackets (pre-school sizes through adult medium), as well as hats, scarves, and gloves. Please be sure any used items are clean and in good condition (zippers work, no missing buttons, no rips or tears, etc.). Donations go in the bin in the narthex. For those who prefer, we are also collecting $25 Target gift cards to purchase other items students might need, such as boots and uniforms; see Tom Beal to buy cards through St. George's scrip program and give the cards directly to Randy or Donna Haselton. Please see Donna Haselton if you have any questions. Thank you for your generosity!
