Newman Congregational Church, UCC continues to collect donations

RUMFORD — Newman Congregational Church, UCC is seeking clothing donations from community members.

Newman UCC has been partnering with St. Pauly Textile Inc. to collect used clothing for over the past year. St. Pauly Textile Inc. works with non-profit organizations, like Newman UCC, to set up used clothing drop-off sheds designed to give community members a clean, attractive, and well-monitored place to donate gently used textile items, which are then distributed both here in the U.S. and worldwide to people who need them.

Accepted items include clothing, shoes, sneakers, belts, purses, blankets, sheets, drapes, linens, pillowcases and stuffed animals. Donors are asked to donate items in a plastic bag to protect against dirt and the elements.

There is a small box on the shed that contains receipts to help donors take a tax deduction.

Consider donating your used clothing items today.
