St. Bartholomew’s ACW is partnering with Catholic Community Services (CCS) during Advent by collecting new and gently used items for the CCS Infant Layette Program.
Every month, CCS distributes layette gift bags to families in need in Snohomish County who have just had a newborn baby. CCS is almost out of supplies and is requesting items from the list below.
Layette items will be collected in the Narthex through December 22. Monetary donations are also welcome. (Make checks payable to the church with “Layette Program” in the memo line, and place them in the offertory plate.)
