Good afternoon Winooski Staff,
As you know, and may have been a part of in past years, the clothing drive is coming up. We are hoping to begin collecting and dispersing items earlier than in past years, as it often is quite chilly weeks before Thanksgiving. We will be accepting items now until October 30th. The clothing giveaway will take place from 4:30-6:30pm on November 2nd in coordination with the PTO’s annual WSD Potluck Dinner.
We are specifically looking for school appropriate gently used or new items for fall, winter, and spring (hats, coats, mittens, boots, pants, shirts, etc.), for children under the age of 18. Please no evening wear, costumes or undergarments.
If you know of a specific student in need of particular item, please send the following information to the appropriate school guidance counselor: the student’s name, grade, items needed, and approximate size, if possible.
If you know of any individual or social organization who would like to donate appropriate clothing or funds towards the effort, please give them the contact information provided below. Please do NOT advise these people to bring their donations to the school, rather bring in the donation for them or have them contact Grace to coordinate a pick up.
In addition, if any staff is willing to volunteer to help with the event, please let us know. We are hoping to have volunteers to help set up from 3:00-4:30pm, clean up from 6:30-7:00pm, and either four volunteers for the whole event (4:30-6:30) or eight volunteers to split the time (four from 4:30-5:30 and four from 5:30-6:30) to help families find clothing. Thank you in advance, we appreciate any and all help in making this event a success.
If you have any questions or comments to assist in this effort, please feel free to contact Grace Holcomb via email, gholcomb@wsdschools.org, or by phone (383-6139), or Jaycie Puttlitz via email, jputtlitz@wsdschools.org.
Thank you for your continued support!
