| The Penn Wynne-Overbrook Hills Fire Company will mark the 18th Annual Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Day of Service, Monday, January 21, by serving as a collection point for vitally needed everyday items for children, aged 0-12, living in poverty in the five-county southeastern Pennsylvania area.
The collection is in support of Cradles to Crayons (www.cradlestocrayons.org) year-round program to provide these essential items to disadvantaged children, free of charge, by engaging and connecting communities that have with communities that need.
Area residents are asked to bring new and nearly new infants and children's clothing, warm coats, hats, shoes, boots, gloves, newborn baby items, baby safety equipment, toys, books and school supplies to the Penn Wynne Fire Company at 1440 Manoa Road, Wynnewood, PA 19096. The firehouse site will be staffed by Cradles to Crayons volunteers from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Monday, January 21.
Donations can also be made at other locations throughout the region. For locations of other sites and details on what Cradles to Crayons can accept, go to cradlestocrayons.org. For further information please contact Jeff Baxter at 215-836-0958 Ext. 210 or by email at jeff@cradlestocrayons.org |
