WE’RE COLLECTING ITEMS FOR CLOSED BY FAITH

We’re collecting items for Closed by Faith, a Katy organization that provides gently used clothing to those in need, Their shelves are bare; and so they are really in need of items. You can bring your items to the school and but them in the box in the lobby through Thursday.

Here’s a list of what they accept and don’t accept:

What We Do Accept:

Clothing – we accept NEW or very GENTLY used clean clothing in all sizes and both genders. No rips, tears, stains, broken zips, etc

Shoes – we accept NEW or very GENTLY used shoes. No holes, broken heels, rips etc. Soles should be intact and shoes should not be dirty on inside or out.

Other items – we accept NEW or very GENTLY used purses, belts, hair accessories and jewelry.

What We Do NOT Accept:

Used socks or undergarments – we can only accept these items NEW.

Men’s suits or prom dresses – because of space limitations we are not accepting these items at this time.

Toys, books, household items, linens, baby items or furniture etc.

How They Like Clothes to be Donated:

We ask that your clothes be clean and have no rips, tears, stains, broken zips, missing buttons etc.

Donate them to us in bags, NOT boxes or on hangers.

If at all possible, please divide your donations by gender and size. This would be extremely helpful to us but it is not compulsory. If you do divide, please mark your bags with what is in the bag.

Please do not put shoes in same bag as clothing unless they are in their own bag.
