School Needs
The outreach team of the Cathedral and St. Mark’s partners with Pfeiffer-Burleigh Elementary, Harding Elementary and Charter School of Excellence. During this school year, students are in need of basic school and hygiene supplies to use both at school and at home. In particular, the schools are asking for the following items:
- Leggings (girls, any size/color)
- Sweatpants and sweatshirts (any size, kids or adults)
- laundry detergent pods
- disinfectant wipes
- masks (disposable and cloth)
Drop off any of these items:
At the Cathedral: Mondays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m
At St. Mark’s: Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
If you cannot make it to the Cathedral or St. Mark’s during those times but have items to donate or if you have any questions, please contact Kathleen Moore.
