EMERGENCY BINK-A-THON
MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 9 am to 12 pm
HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH, BEAVERTON OREGON.
We are only making the fleece types and need your help!
WE DO NOT NEED FABRIC UNLESS IT IS FLEECE.
Consider joining us or dropping off binkies, new sheets, new towels, pillowcases, or gently used quilts.
We are looking for a truck to load up and get down to Alta Dena, CA.
Families of all economic levels have lost EVERYTHING. We are inundated with people asking us how they can help. Binky Patrol has responded to large natural disasters for almost 30 years. We always get all aid directly to the victims. We are focusing on the city of Alta Dena. There are so many cities that we had to pick an area to allow us to be the most effective. You can also help by donating gift cards for Target and Amazon because people will be living in hotels or couch surfing, at best. Some have no homes and are in the overflowing shelters. Many won’t have jobs to go to no schools, no churches. They have nothing.
PLEASE RSVP so we know how much fabric to buy.
This is a transfer of the original chapter from Orange County, it started in 1996 – DAY 1!This chapter usually just collects Binkies and delivers them.
We are accepting binkies of all types ALWAYS!
We will accept batting, yarn, new thread, sharp scissors, rotary cutter blades, new pins, and gift cards to JoAnn Fabrics.
All donations are tax-deductible.
We have local alliances. Feel free to check them out, too:
