Warm Winter Wear Distribution--Volunteer Opportunities

October 16-22--You can help

THE CONSULTATION OF RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES WILL HOST ITS ANNUAL WARM WINTER WEAR DISTRIBUTION (WWWD) on October 16-22.

There is a big need for help with this event. It is a great opportunity to work with others and turn your concern into positive action. Like last year, volunteers are required to sign up via Sign-up Genius.  For more detailed instructions and to access the Sign-up Genius for Volunteers click on: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0B49A9AE2FA20-warm1 

This event will be held in the new winter shelter at the far east end of the Guide Link Center, 340 Southgate Ave, Iowa City. CRC is also looking for donations of new or gently used outerwear for children and adults. These items can be brought to the Guide Link Center starting on Monday (see below). Their highest priority is: winter coats & jackets of all sizes, and other outerwear (snow pants, hats, gloves / mittens, winter scarves, warm socks & winter boots / shoes). They will also gladly accept sweaters, sweatshirts & sweatpants. Carefully presort donated items, removing anything not listed above.
