The Salvation Army Announces the 2014 Project Bundle Up Collection Event
Quad Cities, USA: As families find it harder and harder to make ends meet, The Salvation Army asks the community to step in and help children stay warm this coming winter. The Project Bundle Up Event hosted by KWQC TV-6 makes donating easy. This heart-warming event is sponsored by Floor Trader.
WHERE: KWQC TV-6 at 805 Brady Street, Davenport, IA
WHEN: Thursday, October 16, 2014
HOURS: 6:00am - 6:30pm
The Salvation Army will deliver thousands of cold weather clothing items to Quad Cities' elementary & middle schools to fill the needs of students who arrive at school without these essential items. School teachers are on the frontlines watching for children who come to school without mittens & gloves, hats, socks, underwear, and scarves, and Project Bundle Up fills this need.
"The need increases every year. Last year's delivery to 27 schools was over 7,000 items, and that was a really cold winter - we know they were put to good use!" stated Patty Mixdorf, Event Coorindator at The Salvation Army.
Donations can also be mailed, marked "Project Bundle Up," to: The Salvation Army, P.O. Box 3972, Davenport, IA 52808. A gift of any size by October 31, 2014 will greatly help!
