COAT, JACKET, SNOW PANTS, AND BOOT DRIVES
Beginning in the early fall, the collection of winter apparel
is a great benefit to dozens, if not hundreds, of needy individuals. Those who
sponsor this type of drive often find that many are very happy to have a good
place to donate their outgrown and/or excess winter apparel. Sizes needed include
everything from 3 Toddler through Adult Large and Extra Large. The following
warm items are needed.
-
Coats, jackets, hooded sweatshirts, snow pants, boots, and
other winter apparel.
-
Hats, scarves, and mittens can also be collected along
with the coats and boots, or a separate drive can be done. Review the following
"Hat, Scarf, and Mitten Drive" information.
- New and gently used items are requested. Please clean and repair used items.
Please call the LOVE office when your drive has ended for instructions as
to the best place to deliver your collected items.
IDEA! -- SOME GROUPS/ENTIRE CHURCHES HAVE HAD GREAT SUCCESS WITH THE
"COAT, JACKET, SNOW PANTS, AND BOOT DRIVE" BY PLACING ONE, TWO, OR THREE VERY
LARGE BOXES IN A VISIBLE PLACE IN THEIR CHURCH. EVERYONE STRIVES TO FILL THOSE
BOXES TO THE BRIM AND MORE. THE BOXES SERVE AS A HELPFUL VISUAL REMINDER AS
WELL.
HAT, SCARF, AND MITTEN DRIVES
Beginning in the early fall, the collection of winter apparel
is a great benefit to hundreds of needy individuals.
- Warm hats, mittens, gloves, and scarves.
- These items are best if they are new and can either be purchased or handmade.
- Coats, jackets, snow pants, and boots can also be collected along with
the hats, scarves, and mittens, or a separate drive can be done. Review the
previous "Coat, Jacket, Snow Pants, and Boot Drive" information.
Please call the LOVE office when your drive has ended for
instructions as to the best place to deliver your collected items.
NOTE: LOVE COLLECTS YARN YEAR AROUND FROM MANY DONORS.
THE YARN IS SHARED WITH MANY DIFFERENT GROUPS AND INDIVIDUALS WHO LIKE TO KEEP
THEIR HANDS BUSY KNITTING AND CROCHETING. HUNDREDS OF HATS, MITTENS, SCARVES,
AND OTHER ITEMS ARE SUPPLIED IN THIS WAY.
IDEA! -- CHURCH COULD EVEN DO A DRIVE FOR YARN. BRING THE
RESULTS OF THE DRIVE TO THE LOVE OFFICE AND THEN LOVE WOULD PASS THE YARN ON
TO THE KNITTERS AND CROCHETERS.
What is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? -
Matthew 16:26
