| Veterans' Clothing Drive | | |
Stand Down
Once again our Parish is supporting Stand Down, a volunteer endeavor providing assistance to veterans of the nation's armed services who are in need.
We are collecting clean and new or gently used goods for both men and women: coats and jackets, slacks, sweatshirts and sweaters, scarves, gloves and mittens, socks, new underclothing, hats and caps, shoes and boots, and blankets.
Please bring your contributions to the Church of the Holy Spirit as soon as possible, but no later than Sunday, Oct. 19. Label bags "Stand Down Veterans." We will be gathering this year's collection near the north door.
We are looking for people who can help get the harvest to Columbus on Monday, Oct. 20. If you can volunteer or have questions, please contact either Bob Heasley or Perry Lentz. The date for Stand Down in Columbus is Tuesday, Oct. 21, at Huntington Park, the Columbus Clippers' stadium.
