Collection for Minnick School

We are offering our congregation an opportunity to help our neighbors in need at Minnick School. As you may know, Muhlenberg has supported Minnick for many years, whether with elbow grease helping clean up their former home, helping the students shop for gifts for their parents or caregivers, or with monetary donations.

‍Minnick School helps students (ages 5 to 22) who have experienced challenges in public schools reach their academic and developmental goals. Their educational staff support students so they can return successfully to their home public school.

‍Currently, their clothes closet needs two types of items — pull-ups and sweatpants.

‍ Pull-up type of disposable underwear is needed in youth sizes small, medium, and large, as well as adult size small. (Not the toddler pull-ups!) Some brand name ideas would be Goodnites, Ninjamas Nighttime Underwear, and Sleepovers Youth Pull-up Underwear by Cuties.

Sweatpants need to have an elastic waist and in the same size range as above.

‍ ‍If you wish to give a monetary gift in addition to or in lieu of these items, please place your check in the offering plate with “Minnick School Giving” on the memo line.

‍ ‍We will hold this drive August 9,16 & 23. Thank you for your generosity! If you have questions, please contact Vicki Heitsch (vaah@earthlink.net) or Karen Thomsen (kethomsen25@gmail.com).
