Are you downsizing, cleaning out closets, your basement, garage?  Have your children outgrown their clothes?  

Over 60,000 pounds – 30 tons – of clean textiles and footwear have been donated by area neighbors and businesses to St. David’s Episcopal Church in our past seven drives.  

Our next Textile Drive is November 21 from 10am – 1pm in the Quest Fitness parking lot (2 Livewell Drive) in Kennebunk.  Donations can be clothing, bed linens, bath towels and washcloths, coats, small rugs with no plastic or rubber backing, backpacks, footwear, etc. 

Be sure all donated items are clean and free from odors such as moth balls or smoke.  Bag them in sturdy plastic bags – no boxes.  Textiles and footwear should be in separate bags.  Textiles can be torn or stained, but they must be clean. 

Starting at 10am, the first 40 donors will receive a Cogdon’s Wooden Nickel for a free donut.  Proceeds have benefitted Community Outreach Services, Laudholm Farms and soon the York County Community Action Corporation.  Thank you for helping us care for Mother Earth, our climate and our neighbors.
