FAIR DONATIONS NEEDED
We need your help. St. Paul’s Fair has a reputation to defend. Every year at the Fair, people line up early, before the Fair opens, to be the first in the door to scoop up the great buys and finds in the Gift Chalet and Hodge Podge. To maintain this traditional, summer shopping frenzy, we need your donations.
If you don’t want it, can’t use it, are downsizing, moving, cleaning up, opening up, or cleaning out, please donate what is useable, in good repair, and resalable to St. Paul’s.
Donations may be left on the bench in the Parish House or call the Church office (508 228-0916) for a pick up for larger items.
We cannot accept clothing, electrical appliances,paperback books, text books, or damaged or broken goods.
Thanks all for your help.Tax receipts available upon request.
