Donations for Burmese Immigrants

When:   Saturday, October 10  10am - 6pm & Sunday, October 11  10am – 6pm  
 
Location:  St. Jude Catholic Church Parking Lot – 2130 Pemberton Dr. (look for the donation truck)  
All donated items will be distributed amongst the over 6,000 refugees that are now here. 

Needed items:  They are truly in dire need of any used  or new clothing, shoes, socks, coats, household items, kitchen utensils, towels, pillows, blankets, sheets, toys (preferably that do not require batteries, since they cannot afford them), sports equipment (especially balls), used bicycles, furniture, etc.  
 
New donations: shampoo, toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, soap, toothbrushes, deodorant, underwear (especially kids sizes), etc. (We also welcome donations of all your unused “Complimentary hotel toiletry samples”!)
These folks are here legally and need our help.  Please do whatever you can to aid them in getting started.
