Vinyl Club Service Project

Next week, the Vinyl Club will be collecting toothbrushes, toiletry items, gloves, mittens and socks for the needy who come to the St. Vincent de Paul Center. The idea came from Garces senior Danielle Lacayo who has recently began volunteering at the center.  She noticed how grateful people were to get items that others take for granted.  She decided she could make a difference, even if it was a small one.  She proposed the idea to the Garces Vinyl Club and they all agreed to participate.  They will be collecting items next week, Nov. 14th - Nov. 18th and placing them in a bin in Mr. Bill Workman's classroom.  As you are purchasing cans for the Canned Food Drive, maybe you can add in a toothbrush, toothpaste, or some socks into your cart.  They will go to good use and will be greatly appreciated
