Lenten Clothing Drive

Several months ago, we were approached by RiverValley Behavioral Health asking for help. A local not-for-profit, RiverValley has been a stabilizing, nurturing force for our community. They host over 21 Kentucky based programs that include in-patient and out-patient services for those with mental health, mental retardation/developmental disabilities (MR/DD), alcohol and drug addictions, prevention, recovery and treatment. They care for children, adults and their families. Regularly children are assigned to RiverValley Behavioral Health Hospital that arrive only with the clothes on their back. RiverValley does all that it can to provide clean clothing for them while they are with them.

They have asked us to partner with them by hosting a clothing drive where OCS families have the opportunity to donate gently worn clothing items and shoes for children ages 14 - 18. We will host the drive from Monday, March 22nd to Friday, March 26th.

Your clothing donations can be dropped off at any of our school sites and Central Office. For those dropping off clothing at Owensboro Catholic Middle School, please go to the gym. RiverValley will be picking up donations each day between 8:30 and 9:00 AM. This is a perfect opportunity to clean out the drawers and closets and help those in need. All donations are tax deductible. Pre-printed receipts will be available at each location. Thank you for your help in this matter.
