It is around that time of year where people are starting to bundle up in warm clothes to beat the winter cold. Unfortunately, there are many refugee families who may not be able to have warm winter clothes during this holiday season.
The Haddonfield Friends School Student Leadership Council will be collecting donations of warm winter clothing such as coats, sweaters, hats, mittens, and scarves until Dec. 20 to help those in need. Donations will be sent to the Refugee and Immigration Services by Catholic Charities and will be extremely beneficial to many families. You can learn more about the organization by visiting http://catholiccharitiescamden.org/refugee-immigration.
A list of accepted new or gently used and cleaned items include:
Winter coats for children
Hats, mittens, and scarves (to be placed on the Mitten Tree!)
Children’s clothes
Children’s toys
Blankets and sheet sets, size twin and queen
Large pots and large frying pans
Gift cards, especially for school supplies
