Sock, Underwear, Hat & Gloves Drive
December 16-20, 2024
Calling all BCS Families! This December, please consider supporting our ANNUAL PTA CLOTHING CENTER DRIVE.
BCS is collecting donations of NEW socks, underwear, gloves and winter hats - sizes 4T to adult - to benefit the PTA Clothing Center. More than 2,000 students in need across the district turn to the Clothing Center every year, and every year the BCS community steps up to ensure that the Clothing Center can provide new socks, hats, gloves and underwear to every student who visits. They have already served 600 kids in the last two months!
All donations are appreciated, but this year the Center reports a particular need for these items:
- New Boys and Men’s Knit Boxers sizes men's small, medium and large (preferred over briefs)
- New little boys underwear boxers 4T, 6,
- New Teen boy socks sizes 3-9 and 6-12, ankle/low cut style
- New Women’s bikini and hipster style underwear (variety of sizes)
- Warm winter coats for teenagers gently used or new (they only have8coats)
- Big need for new boys sweat pants and joggers size 4T-size 16
- Lots and lots of New Socks and Underwear ranging from 4T-adult sizes boys and girls.
Starting Dec 16th and until Dec 20th collection bins (decorated by BCS students) will be located inside the front door of our school and in the cafeteria by the doors leading out to the playground. They will be there all week. At the end of each day students will be counting the items and they will be placed on the stage! At the end of the week the PTA will take all the items to the Clothing Center.
DON'T FORGET THE SCHOOL CHALLENGE!
We LOVE a challenge at BCS, and the PTA is challenging the BCS students to beat their generosity from past years. The PTA Clothing Center relies heavily on our donations each year. The goal this year is for our BCS community to collectively donate at least 2,800 pairs of socks, underwear, gloves and hats! Lets come together and help make a difference for so many kids and families in Portland!
