Parkside Giveaway Day Saturday

On behalf of our good community partner, Parkside Neighborhood Center, I share this announcement of their upcoming Giveaway Day on Saturday.  Donations will be gratefully accepted on Friday, so I encourage you to clean out your closets, your attic, your basement, and bring any good, usable household items to benefit our neighbors in Maine's densest and most diverse neighborhood!  Volunteers are also needed both days to help make the whole thing work.  You are, of course, equally welcome to partake of the Giveaway, if you have need.  Please contact Rachel Horton White directly with any questions.  Regards, ATM

Giveaway Day!  Will be held at Sacred Heart/St. Dominic's Parish on the corner of Sherman and Mellen Streets in Portland on from 10 am -1 pm.  This event is for all residents in Greater Portland in financial need. We will accept, as always, adult and baby clothing (warm weather clothing only), books, toys, and baby and household items.  We are especially looking for back-to-school items (backpacks, clothing) and household items (sheets, lamps, fans).  Cleaned and washed and bedbug-free please!  Diapers also accepted as donations. Drop-offs at Sacred Heart on Friday, July 20th from 9-11 am and 4-6 pm.   We're also looking for volunteers during both days, particularly from 12-2 pm on Saturday.  Please contact me at rachel.white@opportunityalliance.org  or 553-5940 if interested in volunteering.
