The Back to School Basics Drive
As the summer comes to a close, many children in the area are looking forward to finding that perfect first day of school outfit. However, there are hundreds of children in the area who will be struggling just to find clean underwear. No child should have to go to school in dirty clothes. With the support of local Rotary Clubs, the Rome Rescue Mission is launching an effort to collect new socks and underwear for children.
Drop-off centers will be placed at local businesses, and the donations will be shared between the Rome Rescue Mission and the Rescue Mission of Utica. In addition to donating the basics, monetary contributions are welcome and greatly appreciated. With the help of donors throughout the community, we can provide nearly 1000 children with essentials like clean socks and underwear.
The following local businesses have generously agreed to be drop off locations: Applebee’s Bar & Grill Rome, Bouton Physical Therapy, Chester’s Flower, Creative Designs, Wedding, Party and Event Planning, CVS school of Dance, Delta Liquors, Dolce Vita Children’s Boutique, Edible Arrangement, Engelberts Jewelers, Jervis Public Library,Just Breathe Yoga Studio, King Pin Lanes, Revolve Consignment, Taco Del Mar, The Moore Insurance Group Agency, Spressos Coffeehouse, Uvanni Motors
