youth, and adults. This is a wonderful opportunity to pass along items that no longer fit your
family, while helping others who may need them.

Collection Date: October 17th, – November 7th

If you are able, please sort items by type and place them in a tied bag or box labeled with the contents.
Please note: We cannot accept dirty clothing, under garments, socks, toys, and other non
clothing items. Items should be freshly washed and, if possible, sorted by type (e.g., jackets,
shoes, or winter wear) before being donated.

Drop-off Location: In front of the school office in black bins!

All donations will go directly to supporting local families—thank you for your generosity!

Warmly,
David Cameron PAC
