Behind the Scenes at All Saints: Lord & Tailor 

Lord and Tailor is hardly behind the scenes at All Saints as this organization is well known in our church and community.  Lord and Tailor's (L&T) mission is to provide low cost clothing. 

L and T Volunteers
Sandy Johnson, Lorraine Holley,  Louise Graham, Pat McLaughlin, & Monique Roy
Lorraine Holley serves as the chairwoman of the L&T board, and she states that the organization has over 50 volunteers, who help sort and display clothing early in the week, and are open to the public on Thursday's thru Saturday. The annual report for 2011 highlights that volunteers spent 1,560 hours sorting the clothes and getting them read for the public. Volunteers spent another 2,418 hours selling the clothing to the public.  A year contains 8,760 hours and when when it is all added up L&T volunteers spent 4,770 hours volunteering for L&T in 2011. That is an amazing number of hours for a volunteer organization that is open to the public for 96 days each year.

 

Lorraine stated that the volunteers handle over 25,000 articles of clothing each year, and prices have remained the same since the doors for L&T first opened. Most clothing sell for $3.00 and  the clothing is given away, if the individual does not have the funds to pay for it.   No one is turned away.  The money raised by L&T is given to the church budget. As a member of the Vestry, I can tell you how appreciative we are to have this generous donation.

Lorraine is very grateful to the public for donating the clothing. Lorraine also mentioned that John Foster, our  terrific Jr. Warden, brings the clothing up to the L&T sorting room each morning from the bins located outside the entrance. Ed West, Jack McLaughlin, Wayne Ghirardini, Ron Holley, Mark McLaughln and his crew, plus many others also help with moving the clothing.

I want to state that the volunteers for L&T are a happy group. It is impossible for one's spirits to not be lifted after watching them work for a short period of time.
