Providence Roller Derby: Holiday Clothing Drive
For those of you that don’t know, I’m a skater for Providence Roller Derby and we’re organizing a clothing drive for an organization called Sojourner House in Providence, RI. http://www.providencerollerderby.com
Sojourner House is non-profit agency that offers services to victims of domestic violence. They are also hosting an event for World Aids Day on December 19th where they will be using our clothing donations. http://www.sojournerri.org/sojourner/
In the past, Providence Roller Derby has raised several hundred dollars for breast cancer research and participated in Habitat for Humanity, and there are always charities at our events that we actively support.
I am not writing this to solicit donations from you as it would be impossible to obtain them. This blog is about encouraging you to make a difference in your community as well. The holidays are a hard time for some people and often trigger feelings of loss or depression. Please go out and find at least one person’s day that your thoughtfulness can brighten.
