Children's Book Drive

Our preschool is collecting new or gently used children’s books for the Laundromat Library League in the West Chester area from November 4th- 22nd. This organization places library boxes full of books in laundromats as a way to get them into homes that may have few or none at all. They particularly need toddler board books. Collection bins located around the building. Questions? Contact Jackie Steinmetz.

Coat Drive Begins Sunday!

November 3-30
Do you have a new or gently used winter coat in the back of your closet that you don’t wear anymore but would be welcomed by someone who doesn’t have one at all? We are collecting men, women, and children’s coats in the sanctuary during the month of November. Please make sure the coats are clean and if possible on hangers. We will deliver them to eight different partner agencies. Questions? Contact Laureen Smith.
