Clothing:
Fall Drive for 600+: Every Aiugust we gather more than four thousand pounds of clothing - enough to fill the gymnasium at St. Mary's School twice. Friends from all around the area bring in good, clean, used clothing. Next, an army of volunteers sorts and folds the clothing, displaying it on tables that cover the entire area of the gymnasium. Then for three days, 9 AM to 8 PM, more than six hundred men, women and children from more than twenty-five towns descend on the school to find clothing to start school and help through the winter. We want to free folks so they do not have to choose between food or heat of clothes this winter. We welcome the donation of good (not torn or worn out), clean clothing on Sunday through MOnday of the week of the drive. If you know of any grup that would like any good leftover clothing, PLEASE let us know!

Vouchers for Clothing: During the rest of the year people still have needs for clothing and have no funds with which to purchase them. Two area groups generously accept vouchers to provide essential clothing: The Open Door Mission and the Salvation Army in Rutland.
Mittens and Hats: Churches and individuals in our area knit or buy hats, scarves, gloves, and mittens to provide through our local schools for children who have none.
