Clothing Drive Volunteers Needed

Do you know how to open a car door? Can you lift a trash bag filled with clothes? Are you free anytime between the hours of 7:30 AM and 10 AM on Wednesday  April 27th - even for only a hour? If so, you're qualified to join our team of motivated, over-caffeinated* parents to collect clothes!

We're looking for people to help from 7:30 AM until 10:30 AM. You wouldn't necessarily need to stay the whole time (though you could if you want...). 

Please contact Cindy Silva at silvabullet01[insert the @ symbol here]comcast[insert the . here]net by Thursday, 4/21 noon if you can help. Please give the timeframe, so that we can be sure to have enough coverage. Don't be shy about forwarding this post along. The more the merrier. Please let us know if you have any questions.

We are just down the street from Dunkin Donuts!

Clothing Drive to Benefit the Gorman Fort Banks PTO

It’s time to make room for spring and summer clothes. Are you really going to wear that vintage sweater with the big, hulking shoulder pads next year? Do you really think your child will be the same size next fall? Make some room and donate those clothes! Clean clothes, shoes, bedding, soft toys and curtains will be accepted.

Wednesday, April 27th from 7:45 - 10:30 am
