LYDF Clothing Drive!!

We have decided to put together a clothing drive this year and are looking for help and support from our followers and friends. There is an ever increasing need in our communities for clothing, shelter, food and many other forms of assistance for a lot of families. What we're hoping to do this holiday season is ease this burden on as many of those families as possible. We're looking for as many blankets, shoes, gloves, hats, clothes, etc that we can get. What we're offering to do is come to your house and load everything up that you would like to donate. This way you don't need to take the extra time out of your day to make a contribution, we'll do the leg work for you. We will be collecting the clothes from today through Dec 19th, on the 19th we will be taking everything in that we have collected through this effort.

Personally speaking, I know that I have way too many t-shirts and sweatshirts of my own that would be much better served out of my closet and actually being worn by someone who needs them. Plus, a lot of them are pretty rad shirts and I feel like semi-current clothing is lacking in many second hand stores. I think this is a great chance to show that our generation cares for and is willing to help one another out. If you ask around a little bit I can just about guarantee that you will find someone who has or is currently using the resources that are available to those in need. Consider this helping a brother, sister or friend, not some random person.

So here's the pertinent info you'll need to know:
-we need hats, gloves, shoes, clothes
-we will pick them up and bring them in
-call or email me at 320-493-6573 or liveyoungdiefastmn@gmail.com with an idea of how much stuff you have and when you want it picked up
-we will be bringing everything in to the St. Cloud Salvation Army on Sunday, December 19th

We're really excited about this and the impact that we can make. We look forward to keeping you ll up to speed on our progress and thank you in advance for your donation!
