LET’S PUT THE FUN BACK IN FUNDRAISING!
This summer, St. Thomas is partnering with Goodwill for a donation drive. Just bring your gently used items to the event and Goodwill will take them all away, issue you a tax receipt AND make a donation to St. Thomas based on the total weight of the donated items. It’s an easy way to clear out your clutter and support St. Thomas’ ongoing mission and programs!
