Winter Clothing Drive

Picture
inter Clothing Drive
In cooperation with New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia and two other Philadelphia churches, Calvary's Community Care and New Sanctuary Movement Teams are sponsoring a winter clothing drive to support newly arriving immigrants - specifically those traveling in buses from Texas.

New and gently used, clean, ready-to-wear clothing can be dropped off at the church during worship on Sundays, or you can contact Lauren (215-820-5532) to make other arrangements. See the specific list of needed items below (NOTE: children's clothing is not needed at this time).

You can also donate financially to support the clothing drive, specifically to purchase new underwear and socks.

And in addition to the clothing drive, there is ongoing need for volunteers:
  • to meet arriving buses and help welcome people outside 30th Street Station, typically early morning (and typically with about 36 hours' notice); Spanish-speaking volunteers are preferable, but not necessary
  • who can provide temporary housing

Please contact Lauren if you're willing and able to help in either of these ways, or to get involved with Calvary's NSM Team.

Needed Items
Adult clothing
  • winter coats - S, M, L, XL
  • sweatpants and sweatshirts/jackets - S, M, L, XL 
  • jeans
  • t-shirts - S, M, L, XL 
  • gloves, hats, scarves
  • underwear - S, M, L, XL (new only)
  • socks (new only)

Adult shoes
  • women - sizes 5.5 to 8
  • men - sizes 8 to 10.5

We acknowledge that Calvary is located on the ancestral homelands of the Lenape people, whose presence and resilience in Pennsylvania continues to this day. We take this opportunity to honor the original caretakers who lived and continue to live on and steward this land, while recognizing the histories of land theft, violence, erasure and oppression that has preceded our presence here.
