Our Associates have launched their seventh annual Pajama & Book Drive, a project to collect pajamas and books for children who go to bed each night having to wear the clothing they wore all day because either they are living in shelters or their families lack the resources to provide them with sleepwear. In collaboration with Pajama Program, they will be donating pairs of pajamas with age-appropriate books for bedtime reading to many children in area shelters. The first few years they donated to Head Start, Nyack, then One to One Learning. And, now also give to St. Paul’s ‘Toys for Tots’ to a Head Start Nursery group in Haverstraw
Students at St. Thomas Aquinas College are running their second drive in collaboration with us. You can donate pajamas (sizes Infant to Youth 12) and books or, if you prefer, donations of gift cards/checks can be made. They may be dropped off until November 15 at Dominican Convent, Route 340, Sparkill, NY. You may also mail checks to Dominican Convent, c/o Ellen O’Sulllivan/Diane Dunne. Checks should be made out to Dominican Sisters of Sparkill; please put "Pajama Program" in the memo line.
You may also send digital gift cards directly to Ellen (ellenosullivan74@gmail.com) or
Diane (djoy2663@yahoo.com) for purchases.
