Hurricane Sandy Project

I just got word that Englewood Elementary is heading up a drive for items to send up to New York. Dr. Robin Blackburn (one of the counselors there) says that after our tornado, her contact person up there sent down a huge 18-wheeler full of supplies for Tuscaloosa. Now, we have a chance to return the favor!

If you would like to participate, here are the details!

Englewood is collecting the following new, unused items in their original packaging:
  • diapers, baby formula
  • socks, gloves, underwear
  • wash cloths, towels
  • sheets, blankets
  • garbage bags
  • kleenex, toilet tissue
  • cleaning supplies
  • toiletries
  • empty boxes and empty plastic bins for packing these items
  • gift cards from Target, Home Depot, Wal Mart, and Lowe’s
Any items you'd like to donate need to be at Englewood by this Friday, November 9, at 2:00pm. We apologize for short notice, but that is when our big truck will start making the long drive to New York City!

If you only have children at Taylorville (not Englewood) please feel free to send any donated items in to me at TPS. I will drive all our donations over to EES on Friday around noon.

If you would like to volunteer your time to help with this project, or if your Sunday School class, church group, business, or other group would like to partner with Englewood, please call Dr. Robin Blackburn at 342-2644 extension 3.
