WINTER CLOTHING DRIVE FOR P.S. 130 FAMILIES IN NEED

A message from the P.S. 130 PTA:

Each year, PS 130 families join together to ensure that every child in our school has all their needs met this winter.

 

Families in need register to receive bags of requested items donated by our community, so that no child goes without. This year we expect as many as 100 children to register -- we REALLY need your help to fill that many bags!

 

Just as in years past, the PTA will deliver a “winter warmth” package of a coat, boots or shoes, a hat and gloves to families that request it.

 

We will also give the families an additional gift card so they can purchase their child’s “needs and wants” directly -- items like toys, books, games, pjs, clothing, bedding, and more.

 

If your family is in a position to help, please give generously, [https://secure.givelively.org/donate/ps-130-parkside-pta/ps-130-pta-holiday-gift-drive-2023], as the need in our community is great!

 

Donations will be gratefully accepted until this Saturday, December 9th.

 

The P.S. 130 Lower School is located at 70 Ocean Parkway, at the corner of Fort Hamilton Parkway. The Upper School is at 713 Caton Avenue, between E. 7th and E. 8th streets.
