Do you have a gently worn sweater that no longer fits? How about some unused socks that are just not your style?  If you answered YES, then bring those items over to the donation box outside of the front office this week!
Two sisters and Meadows Alumns have teamed up to coordinate a socks and sweaters winter drive.  This is the final week the donation box will be in the front office.  You can donate new medium/large socks and gently used sweaters.  The donations will be distributed by the girls to homeless shelters in the area before the holidays.
