PLANNING PHASE

GATHERING CLOTHES

We gathered clothes starting May of 2013. Most of the gathering was done between October 1 and

November 7th. We advertised through PTA newsletters, notes home, an all call, social media,

the Wilson website and through local classified adds.

A COMMUNITY OF SERVICE

We recruited help from parents, and service organizations such as TEAM a Logan High School group, AmeriCorps, 7 AmeriCorps VISTA members from all over the valley, Logan Kiwanis, Logan City School District, the Wilson School Cooks, local LDS wards, CRIC, & The Public School Partnership (PSP)

out of USU.

ORGANIZING

It took more than 50 volunteers who put in

more than 215 volunteer hours to make this years clothing drive a

success

Parents, staff, community members

and service organizations were the main reason this year

was so successful

diapers, toys, accessories

*20 additional garbage bags of clothes and shoes were donated to Ellis’s clothing drive

SHARING WITH THE COMMUNITY

Because the community around Wilson has been so generous, we were able to open our doors to all Wilson families, refugee families were invited through CRIC and homeless families were invited through the Logan School District.
