Strengthen Our Sisters is in need of new or gently used children’s shoes (for
Toddler sizes up to age 5), and new socks for both boys and girls in the same age range.

A collection box is located in the Saddle River Post Office.

The Shelter can also use donations of used highchairs in good condition.

Please call Sheila at 201-236-2214 or Nona at 201-934-9562 if you can donate.

 

We have an ongoing Fund Raiser which supports the Community Thrift Shop in Midland Park, located at 85 Godwin Ave.

We receive a percentage of the sale price of items donated in our name. Appropriate donations are gently used and clean clothing, furniture, housewares, toys and books.

Donations are accepted:

• Every MONDAY, and the FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH

from 10 AM to 2 PM

• Four shopping bags of items, or 2 white 16 gallon plastic trash bags worth of goods are accepted at one time from each donor.

• Our club number is #39 and must be clearly labeled on the bags in order for us to get our percentage of the sales price of the items donated in our name.

• We try to get friends and family to donate for #39 as well, and we welcome your participation in our fundraising efforts for our charitable causes–whenever you have items to donate.

 Questions about donations can be referred to the Thrift Shop at

Contest Rules

• If you are in grades 3 through 8, you may enter an essay, a poem—or both!
• Your entry may be typed or hand-written, but it must be neat and legible.
• Your entry must have a separate title page. This title page must include your name, the title of your entry, your address, your phone number, your school, your grade and your teacher’s name.  This page is the only page that should contain your name, and it should be attached to the front of your entry.
• Write your title again on the first page of the text of your entry, but do not put your name on any pages of the text of your entry. The title page and the text will be numbered and then separated to ensure impartial judging.  The judges will only see names after winners have been selected on the merits of their writing.
• Proofread your entry and submit it.

 

**There will be separate judging for poems and essays.  If you do enter both contests, please be sure to put a separate title page on each entry.

 Entries must be postmarked by Friday, February 26, 2016
