Clothe The Naked

CROP WALK and SOCK UPDATE:

Last Sunday, 29 walkers and one pup walked the block in support of taking steps to end hunger. We raised over $1600 and collected 707 pairs of socks!! Thank you to everyone who helped support this endeavor.

SALVATION ARMY COAT COLLECTION:

Please consider donating a new or gently used coat to this year's coat collection. Drop off boxes are located in the entryways of the Parish Center.

Donating new/used items is an important way that we live out this Corporal Work of Mercy. Please take a few moments to read this short article to, perhaps, gain a new insight into how we can Clothe the Naked in a different way.

EXCERPT: "...We have a moral responsibility to take a peek behind the stylish logo of popular clothing and shoes and if we find that the item has been produced at the cost of the human dignity of those who made it, we should boycott that product and let the manufacturer know why."

BUT HOW DO WE KNOW WHICH COMPANIES ARE ETHICAL???

Check out these two websites.

The first is a list of 35 ethical and sustainable clothing brands:

WHO'S ON THE LIST?

The second is the 2019 Ethical Fashion Report. It is VERY long, but if you skip to page 45 it lists ALL of the common clothing brands and gives them an A-F grade based on how workers are treated, ethical practices, and sustainability.

"This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; Setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; Sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; Clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own." Isaiah 58:6-7
