Children’s Coat and Hygiene Product Collection For St. Agnes in Manderson, South Dakota
Collecting Through Last Weekend in September
This year the annual Lakota coat and blanket collection will focus on the needs of the children on the reservation. The Lakota Ministry has been asked to focus on the collection of specific items that many of the children need at this time. These items include:
- Children’s coats only, sizes infant to 18/20, can be new or gently used, boys and girls
- NEW underwear, all sizes from 5 to 18/20, boys and girls
- Hats, gloves, scarves, can be new or gently used
- Socks, all sizes from 5 to 18/20, new or gently used, boys and girls
Diapers and hygiene products have also been requested. For smoother transport, we are requesting that monetary donations be made in lieu of actual hygiene products. To donate, please make checks payable to St. Thomas the Apostle OSJ with Lakota in the memo. Checks can be given to Peggy or Nicole in the Outreach and Social Justice office.
The collection ends Sunday, September 27. Delivery to St. Agnes will be September 29. Please place your donations in the designated bin in the Gathering Area. Thank you!
