Workshops, Conferences and Local Events
Silk Road Collection
It’s that time of year again for the Silk Road Market sock and undie collection for the homeless youth in our area. Last year you brought in an amazing 496 pr of undies, 77 undershirts, and 442 pr of socks. I’d like to beat those numbers this year. The tight economy is hurting us all, but it’s especially frightening for those who are losing their homes or their jobs. This isn’t a big city problem. These are our neighbors and our friends in this situation. A pack of new socks or undies is such a small investment in our youth, but has a tremendous impact of love. So, here’s my wish list for this summer. In order to help the largest group of kids, I’m looking for boys sizes 4 to 20 and girls sizes 4 to 16. Also on the top of the list are beginner (training) bras. Won’t you help in this time of need. For more details or flyers contact Wendy at 724-946-8502 or e-mail wendy@silkroadmkt.com. Thanks, Wendy Farmerie.
