To Clothe the Naked..the third act of mercy for the third week of Great Lent...
This is fairly easy to accomplish. Go through your closet, clean it out, and don't be stingy! What I mean by not being stingy is don't hold back a designer label item because you don't think it will be appreciated by the recipient or you want to hold onto it "just in case". I believe the rule of thumb is if you haven't worn something in five years, you never will. And, just perhaps, that designer label jacket you donate may be the reason someone gets a job. Your donation could be that one needed catalyst that changes the course of a person's life. Just a thought...
Places to go...women's shelters, homeless shelters, someone in your parish...
If you live in a state that has a Sports Chalet store, you can donate gently used or new shoes to Soles 4 Souls through April 10th. All shoe donations will be sent to the suffering people of Japan. You may also visit their website to find other ways to donate. Soles 4 Souls
