THANK YOU: Coat and Accessories drive
Thank you to all who donated to the winter coats plus drive for our outreach partner, Gerald J. Ryan Center in Wyandanch. We had a great response! A full carload of warm coats and accessories, men’s utilitarian clothing, new underwear & socks; was delivered on November 5th. Additionally, we Thank you for the generous and immediate response for the much needed toiletries, that was a special request from Gerald J. Ryan Center. Donations from parishioners at St. John’s are especially needed this year as Gerald Ryan has experienced a 35% increase in the clients they serve. As we approach the holiday season, they anticipate having more clients than in years past. The Outreach Center provides food, clothing, and case management to their clients.
A special thank you to our volunteers who attended the “sorting party” on Election Day, especially our youth volunteers, (the Kamdars, Janowitzes, and Pollachs). They were amazingly speedy and smart!
