First Presbyterian Church recently issued the following announcement.
FURNITURE MINISTRY WILL COLLECT BED LINENS DURING JULY
The Furniture Ministry needs you! And you can help while practicing good social distancing. The work of the Ministry goes on despite the virus with clients picking up their items without contact with our volunteers. The need is greater than ever. The Local Missions Committee has designated July as the month to collect bed linens for the Ministry. Because Elon University had to cancel its annual Don’t Trash It! Linen collection, the Ministry is without 75% of its usual inventory of sheets and pillow cases, mattress pads, blankets and comforters. So now is the time for you to clean out your closets for gently used items or check the sales that are going on at many stores — or order on line! Mattress pads and comforters of XL twin, regular twin, double and queen are especially needed. If we have to purchase all of it, a set of bedding can cost up to $50 per bed and we give away nearly 300 beds a year! Items can be dropped off at the Furniture Ministry warehouse on the church campus any Monday from 1:00-4:00 p.m. On behalf of the neediest of our brothers and sisters, thank you for your generosity!
