ST. CATHERINE’S PHILOPTOCHOS NEWS PLEASE DON’T THROW OUT THOSE OLD TOYS! ST. CATHERINE’S PHILOPTOCHOS IS SUPPORTING SECOND HAND TOYS by having a Used Toy Drive for disadvantaged children. Gently used, plastic toys should be clean, have no small or missing parts, and battery operated toys must be fully operational. Kindly drop off the toys in large plastic garbage bags, in the Church Hall throughout the month of March. Any questions, kindly contact Millie (516) 801-2731 or Vasilianna (917) 335-4886. Second Chance Toys is a 501c3 community-based program that rescues and recycles gently used plastic toys for distribution to disadvantaged children. Second Chance Toys was founded in 2006 by a NJ high school student. To date it has donated over 64,000 toys, which have helped keep our landfills free of plastic while bringing smiles and laughter to many children. IT'S MEMBERSHIP DRIVE TIME.
