April Focus
Pendleton Place
For this month’s collection partnership, we would like to introduce you to Pendleton Place, an organization that is working through outreach, a foster care group home, an emergency shelter, and more to address youth homelessness in Greenville. In the words of Monica Cole, Pendleton Place’s Community Relations & Events Coordinator, “Every young person deserves someone who believes in them and a safe place to call home.” We couldn’t agree more!
During the month of April, we will be helping Pendleton Place refresh their bedrooms and bathrooms with items like sheets, shower mats, and even toothbrush holders! Since we want to provide exactly the size and number of items that they can use, we will be using a SignUpGenius for this month’s donations. You can have your items shipped directly to the church, or drop them off at the Reception Area or the Fellowship Hall hallway any time during April! Thank you for your partnership with the important work that Pendleton Place is doing in Greenville.
