Cork Collection

We have an idea for a craft project for both the Summer School program at the Darby Rec Center and the clients at Project Share! We’d like to collect as many bottle corks as we can to be used in the creation of birdhouses. So bring us your corks and we’ll stockpile them until we have enough!

DARBY MISSION

The Darby Rec Center remains closed at this time, although the reopening may occur sooner than originally planned. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

We hit our goals for neckties – thanks to all who have contributed!

PROJECT SHARE

Lunches

We are covered for our lunch obligations for January. We’ll be looking for assistance again in the moth of March!

Gently Used Coats; new N95 Masks

Our Project Share coordinator, Kim, has let us know that they could make very good use of some gently used winter coats and a supply of good masks. The coats can be for adult men or women, larger sizes are best. We’ll be collecting them at the back of the church. If you can’t drop them by yourself, please contact Cassie (610-608-5440) or Katie (610-642-6670) to arrange for pickup.
