“New Beginnings” is an Ecumenical Program designed to provide children in need with new school clothes.

Each child is provided with:

1 Fall Jacket

2 Pairs of Pants

3 Shirts

1 Package of underwear

1 Package of socks

1 $25.00 gift certificate from Target or Walmart or any shoe store (toward the purchase of a pair of shoes).

Working closely with the Social Services office, children are selected to participate in “New Beginnings” on the basis of need.  The clothing is collected from the participating congregations, boxed and delivered to the Social Service office by the first week in August.  Privacy and confidentiality are strictly maintained.

This year Holy Disciples Parish has been asked to supply the clothing for 14 children.  If you would be interested in purchasing individual items or donating money for the purchase of items or donating a $25 gift certificate for shoes, please contact the Parish Office by phone or e-mail, as soon as possible. 

We can provide a list of sizes & colors of the items needed.  The Parish needs to have all items sorted, boxed and ready for Social Services by August 10.

Thank you for considering this effort to help school aged children in our community.
