This year, WSD is partnering with the Winooski Memorial Library and the Winooski Family Center for the 3rd Annual Clothing Drive and Giveaway Event.
Starting today, October 1, through Monday, November 5, the partners will begin accepting clean, gently used clothing to be given away to Winooski children and families later in November.
Donations should be dropped off at the Winooski Memorial Library (32 Malletts Bay Ave.), during Library hours.
Tues.-Fri. 10am-6:30pm
Sat. 10am-2pm
Sun. & Mon. Closed
Specifically, we are looking for school-appropriate clothing and winter gear for ages infant to 18 years old--including winter boots, jackets, hats, mittens and snowpants. Please do not donate accessories, evening wear, lingerie or costumes. We also are NOT accepting toys, books or household items. We will accept undergarments and socks if they are new and still in original packaging.
For Winooski Staff Only: If a staff member has a few items that they would like to donate I am happy to help get donations to the Library. Limit your donations to me to one (1) small bag. If you have more than one bag, please drive to the Library after school and during Library hours to drop off your donations.
Please advise families or non-school individuals who would like to donate to bring donations to the Winooski Library. If you know an organization that would like to donate clothing, funds or volunteers towards the effort, you may give them my contact information (see footer). Please do NOT advise people to bring their donations to the school--we are directing everyone to the Library this year.
More information about the Clothing Giveaway Event, distribution of winter outerwear, and other student-specific needs will come out shortly. If you have any questions or comments to assist in this effort please email or call me.
Thank you for your continued support!
