Clothing Drive in Support of the Salvation Army
As part of our ongoing commitment to serving the wider community, the English-speaking parish of St. Augustine is actively contributing to a clothing drive in partnership with the Salvation Army.
What Is Most Needed Right Now?
The Salvation Army currently prioritises clothing for men.
- Men’s clothing is in high demand. Useful items include:
- T-shirts
- Long-sleeved cotton shirts
- Undershirts
- Shorts
- Socks
Few women use the facility, so men’s items are especially appreciated.
How Our Parish Has Contributed
In recent months, the St. Augustine community has generously donated:
- Over 250 winter coats (Feb–Mar)
- 250+ pairs of socks and underwear (April donation priority)
- Dozens of shirts, sweaters, and other clothing
- Around 50 pairs of sneakers and running shoes, which were a particular need expressed by the Salvation Army
Every donation is met with sincere gratitude. From the staff at the front desk to the individuals receiving the clothing, there is a genuine sense of appreciation for your generosity.
“Each time I deliver items, I’m blessed by the people there—whether it’s the security at the door, the person signing in guests, or the team receiving the donations. They always express heartfelt thanks.”
