Help Us Kick Off our 5th Annual Pajama Drive!

Please join us in providing a little love and warmth for local families this Christmas by donating a new pair of pajamas! This year we hope to collect enough to provide for families of refugees from Syria, elementary school age children in Mars and Butler, Beverly’s Birthdays, the Christmas in Appalachia initiative at Saint Aidan, and the North Hills Community Outreach, so all sizes are needed! Please see the flyer for details, and email me if you have any questions at juliebyrne@roadrunner.com.

Thank you!
