Okay so I was thinking, have you ever had one of those moments where you're like, 'I want to do something good, but I don't know where to start?' (Because same, honestly.) Anyway, I just found out about the Sacred Heart Ladies Guild and their Dresser Project, and I'm like, super excited to share it with you guys.
The Sacred Heart Catholic Church Ladies' Guild is collecting new items for the Nancy Seitz Dresser Project, which supports local children served by Samara's Village and the N.C. Department of Social Services. I mean, can you even imagine not having the basic stuff you need? It breaks my heart, you know?
How You Can Help
So, from February 28 to March 22, the guild will be collecting new items like socks, underwear, and toiletries. They're also looking for gently used clothing and household items, which is great because I'm all about reducing waste (I swear, have you seen the state of my closet? It's like a ticking time bomb of clutter). Anyway, if you're like me and you have a bunch of stuff just lying around, consider donating it to a good cause.
What They Need
Here's a list of some of the things they're looking for: new socks, underwear, and toiletries (like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and shampoo). They're also accepting gently used clothing, shoes, and household items. I was thinking, what if we all just cleaned out our closets and donated the stuff we don't need anymore? It could make a huge difference, right? (I mean, I'm not saying I'm going to start cleaning out my closet right now or anything... but maybe later, when I'm feeling motivated).
I swear, it's the little things that count. Like, have you ever noticed how hard it is to find a pair of socks that don't have holes in them? (I know I have, and it's like, the worst.) But seriously, this is a great opportunity to give back to our community and make a real difference in the lives of local children.
So, if you're looking for a way to get involved and give back, consider donating to the Sacred Heart Ladies Guild's Dresser Project. You can drop off your donations at the church or contact them for more information. And if you can't donate, that's okay too - just spreading the word can make a big difference.
Anyway, that's my two cents on the Dresser Project. What about you? Have you ever donated to a charity or volunteered your time? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below.
