Many thanks to all who generously contributed to the June 19th PADS household supplies drive. A steady stream of cars with donations kept our young volunteers busily transporting items from the north parking lot to the school classroom, where they are being stored until PADS guests are ready to “shop” for some basic items to set up housekeeping in their apartments this summer. In addition, we are grateful for the many “in-kind” monetary donations that were also delivered during our drive.
Kudos to those who helped make this drive a success: ·Members of St. Joseph’s PADS team -- Chuck and Theresa Funke, Rose Ann Rooney, Julie Orbik, Jim Bova and Erin Roeper ·Karen Schillings and members of her Girl Scout Troop #76120 --troop member Ingrid with mom Emily, sister Ramona, and friend Olivia; troop member Rori with her brother Tiag; troop member Valerie with her mom Janaya; troop member Giovanna with brother Dillon. ·Recently confirmed Lorenzo Martinez and friend ·St. Joseph parishioners Ruth Austing, Mike Cap (traffic control), Marilyn Thomas and Allisa Opyd (publicity) ·Volunteer Pat Barker from Homewood There is still a need for additional new bedding items (full, twin and crib size) and bath towels, so if you did not have an opportunity to deliver a donation on the 19th and wish to contribute, contact Jim Bova ([email protected]) or Erin Roeper ([email protected]).
