Den Leaders/Parents:

Thank you for participating in this year’s Winter Clothing Drive which has become an annual collection put on by us! The clothing collected will be distributed across our area to support individuals and families in need.

 

All Pack 33 Scouts are encouraged to participate by distributing flyers this weekend to neighbours asking that they leave their donations on their porch for pick-up on Saturday, November 9th which is a week from this coming Saturday.

 

Winter Clothing Collection will occur on Saturday, November 9th from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the Safeway on Georgia Avenue and Piney Branch Road NW.  Eli Koppel, a pack leader, will be gathering the clothes & afterwards, driving them to either Sheperd's Table or Martha's Table.  All participating Scouts should come with their donation and sign-in so we can account for their participation. Pack 33 donations will be picked up at 11:00 AM so please arrive during the drop-off window.

According to the Capital Area Food Bank, some of the most highly needed items are:

  • Winter Coats
  • Winter Shoes/Boots
  • Sweaters
  • Hats
  • Gloves or Mittens
  • Scarves

 Thank you for participating-- every item makes a difference!
