MCPSRA Community Service

Interfaith Works Partnership

PLEASE NOTE The January 7th work session has been cancelled due to a calendar conflict. 

SAVE THE DATE: February 7, 2025, from 10:30 - 12:30 pm 

MCPSRA partners with Interfaith Works (IW), a non-profit organization located in Rockville, MD. Our group will be tasked with unpacking, sorting, and hanging gently worn infant, children’s, and adult-sized men/women's clothing in the IW Boutique. IW provides food, shelter, household goods, and clothing to over 20,000 community members.

Please sign up for this event, as space is limited. Please send your name, email, and
best contact phone number to: judy.mills549@gmail.com no later than January 2nd so the IW staff may prepare for our visit. Please wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes for walking or standing. A chair/table accommodation is available upon request. A short orientation is provided for your safety and positive experience.

Address: 751 Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville, MD 20851

MCPS Elementary Schools

This year we are giving back to identified MCPS Elementary Schools health rooms identified as benefiting from (new and unworn) underwear, socks, sweatpants, and leggings.
Generally speaking, Elementary age boys and girls wear size 4 – 16 in grades P-K through Grade 5. Therefore we are asking for new w/tags or in a sealed package
any style or size:

• 
  Boys’ or Girls’ Underwear/Panties
  Boys’ or Girls’ socks
  Boys’ or Girls’ pull-on Sweatpants
  Girls’ Leggings
  Boys’ or Girls’ pull on knit or athletic shorts for warmer weather

There are several ways to participate in this Service Project which ends June 12, 2025.
 Drop off during each MCPSRA Luncheon or In-person Event
 Order online and ship to MCPSRA c/o Judy Mills, 11205 Maine Cove Drive, North Potomac, MD 20878

The volume of donated items will guide the number of drop-offs, with the culminating drop-offs after June 12th to benefit summer school programs. Members will be kept apprised of our successes in future MCPSRA Newsletters.
