Outreach Christmas Collections
December 10 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Outreach has partnered with the Ridley School District Holiday Help Drive and Cradles to Crayons to share our generosity this upcoming Christmas. Our parish exceeds expectations in our generous giving and we hope this Christmas season is no different. Items will be collected throughout November and the deadline for all donations is Wednesday, December 11th.
Ridley School District Holiday Help Drive
Help keep our young learners warm! We will be collecting coats and hoodies to be distributed at the Ridley School District Holiday Help Drive.
- Student ages and sizes range from kindergarten to high school senior
- A variety of sizes and styles are needed (children to adult sizes)
- Many older students in middle and high school do not like to wear coats to school, so sweatshirts and hoodies are needed just as much as coats.
Advice from the Ridley School District Director of Pupil Services, “kids love Ridley gear!” The Locker is a great place to buy Ridley gear, located at the Ridley High School. The Uniform Store on McDade Blvd in Folsom also carries Ridley gear. Kids seem to like and enjoy Ridley stuff the most… alongside Philly sports teams of course!
Cradles to Crayons Gear Up for Winter
Donate to C2C’s Gear Up for Winter Drive to support the 40% of children in the Greater Philadelphia region who live in poverty. C2C honors quality clothing to respect the dignity of their recipients. If you are donating used items please make sure they are gently used and in appropriate condition.
- Winter clothing (new or gently used), children & adult sizes (kids come in all sizes!)
- New winter socks
- Warm long sleeve and pant pajamas
- Winter hats, gloves, or mittens
- Sweatpants
- Winter boots or hearty sneakers (toddler sizes 4–13 and adult sizes 1–10)
- Diapers, pull-ups, and diaper wipes
These essentials make winter more manageable!
