This was an email from Ashley Melson about a kids clothing
drive that is needing donations.
Hi friends!
Our church is getting ready for our quarterly "ReThread" kids' clothing drive, so I just wanted to put this out to everyone who might know someone with kids' clothes they won't be using anymore. ReThread is an awesome event where kids in need from the OKC community can come and "shop" for nice clothes in a really fun and welcoming environment.
The space where we meet is set up to resemble a Baby Gap or other fun clothing store with displays and a play area, and each family is given a co-shopper who gets to know them and helps them find what they need. It's a fun twist on the clothing closet idea, and kids get to leave with awesome new-to-them clothes and an experience that makes them feel really special. So, if you have any baby/kids/teen clothes that you are no longer using or know someone who does, this is a great way to donate! At the last store we served over 100 families, and each store is growing. We have also had more and more teenage girls who are looking for clothes, so if you have any of your own clothes to donate that would be awesome too.
Anyway, just wanted to put that out there :) Take care!
Ashley
Here is the information about where the donations are going.
Hello, We are now about 1 month away from our FallRE:THREADstore and are in desperate need of clothing. Please take time in the next couple of weeks to gather up any gently used children/teen clothing that you might have avaialble to donate. Please also remember to talk to co-workers, friends nieghbors etc. about RE:THREAD. Feel free to forward this email to anyone who you feel might be interested in donating clothing. It would help us tremendoursly if all donated clothing could be placed inside a tub prior to delivering it. Having it already inside a tub saves us a ton of time and cost. As always, if you don't have clothing to donate this season but would be willing to donate empty tubs, that would be awesome! At this point I am asking people who have clothing and tub donations to just contact me to make arrangements for picking it up. I can be contacted at rethreadokc@convergenceokc.org or 405-209-7439. Thanks again for your willingness to serve the families in and around the Plaza District through RE:THREAD! Additional information regarding the Fall store will come soon! Sincerely, The Freund Family |
