Why a Clothing Drive?

Clothing Drive 2014

A Real Need

Most of us never give much thought about whether we will have enough clothes to wear. Our closets are full of clothes. We have so many clothes that there are items we rarely, if ever, wear.

Such is not the case for those who are struggling financially for one reason or another. There are many in our city who do not have an abundance of clothing. They only have what we would consider a bare minimum.  

Love Winnipeg

To help meet this need for clothing, Whyte Ridge Baptist is doing a clothing drive on Sunday, June 1, 2014. This is part of our church’s participation in Love Winnipeg 2014. 

On Sunday, June 1st, various groups from Whyte Ridge Baptist will go out in to our community to perform acts of kindness and good will. The clothing drive is one of these events. 

How you can help

We are asking for gently used, clean clothes. These will be donated to a number of organizations who work with the poor in our city.

There will be a bin in the Church foyer for the gently used clothing you are willing to donate. These items of clothing then will be distributed to the needy in our community.

Some specific items in need are boys NEW pajamas and women’s business clothing, but all donations will be accepted.
