Today following the 10:00 a.m. service the Outreach Committee
has organized a ”Meals for Aid For Friends Event“.

For Friends for delivery to isolated shut-ins, primarily
frail elderly, in the five-county Greater Philadelphia area.
Please help by joining us in the kitchen. Thanks to all who
contributed food items.

church from 11:30—11:50. The Choristers is open to all
children, grades 2—7. Please also note that children need
not possess the most ”beautiful“ voice and/or music
reading skills to share their gift of song.
WEDNESDAY LENTEN SERIES

followed by a Soup Supper at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall

OUTREACH
ACTIVITIES
LENTEN PROJECT - CRADLES
TO CRAYONS
This year we have chosen to support a local charity based in
Philadelphia and Boston. Cradles
to Crayons provides children up to the age of 12 with clothes,
toys, diapers, baby-equipment…in other words all
the things which we think of as necessities in a child's life!
St George’s is hosting a collection during Lent, so look
out for the big red collection tubs and the information board
in the dining hall.
We are collecting the following items:
· Good quality used children's clothes, especially
baby clothing
· New socks and underwear in all sizes
· New diapers
· Baby feeding equipment, especially bottles
If you have other baby equipment and would like to know if
you can donate it, please check the list at http://philadelphia.cradlestocrayons.org/?q=node/54
Thank you very much for your support.
MENS’ CLOTHING
COLLECTION
MenzFit
is a charitable organization based in Philadelphia and Washington
DC which seeks to support low-income men in job-hunting by providing
them with interview-appropriate clothing. Our collection point
is the clothes rack in the closet at the back of the church,
near the east door, where we currently put Career Wardrobe donations.
Here is a list of the items they collect: Suits, Shoes, Ties,
Sport Coats, Belts, Shirts, Cuff links, Khakis, Dress Pants,
new Socks.
Please note: Sweaters, coats, scarves, gloves and other winter
clothing are accepted October - February only.
Please consider your donation carefully and only donate the
items listed above. We ask that all clothing donations be dry-cleaned
or laundered and on hangers. All clothing must be gently worn
or new. Please donate clothing that you would feel comfortable
wearing to an interview. Receipts for tax deductions are available.
MenzFit does not accept: women’s clothing, tennis shoes,
shorts, jeans, formalwear, double-breasted suits, worn socks,

CAREER WARDROBE

in which they sell to the public any items not considered appropriate

khakis, sneakers, polo shirts and scrubs, and a clothes rack
in the closet at the back of the church, near the east door.
