Hi LT! We have an UPDATE to the collection for the Children’s Clothing Exchange & CASPAR. First, we’d like to thank LT for the many generous donations already received.
Next, in light of the major earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, we are finishing our collection of winter clothing for CCE/CASPAR as of today (2/8). NOTE: We will continue to collect stuffed animals and the following children’s toys as scheduled, through Fri Feb 17. These items are given free of charge to CCE’s clients: Stuffed animals Dolls Action figures Cars & trucks Dress-up clothes Educational toys Puzzles Board games Computer games DVD and VHS movies I’m forwarding Brianna Doo’s email below—to help direct further donations of winter clothing (and other needed items) to the LPS Student Council’s collection. Many thanks again to the LT community for your generosity! All best, Sarah Liepert Begin forwarded message: From: brianna doo <[email protected]> Date: February 8, 2023 at 12:05:00 PM EST To: Lincoln Talk <[email protected]> Subject: [LincolnTalk] LPS Student Council Earthquake Collection Good afternoon! I would like to share an opportunity being organized by the LPS grades 5-8 Student Council (guided by 5th grade teacher, Ms. Davis) and the Turkish Families in our community. As many of you know, on Monday, two major earthquakes measuring 7.8 and 7.5 hit Syria and Turkey. Hundreds of aftershock earthquakes have been recorded since then. At this time, authorities estimate an incomprehensible loss of life- 11,000 people- nearly double the population of Lincoln, MA, with 43,000 injured. We have students in our LPS community whose families come from the region devastated by the earthquakes. In a show of support and community, beginning today through next Thursday afternoon (2/16) the Student Council will be collecting donations for those affected. In the face of acute suffering and immeasurable loss, our students are choosing action. You may send items in with your student or drop them in the main office. If you are attending the middle school concert tonight, there will be a collection box there. A heartfelt thank you from the Student Council for your support. Here are a few updates to some FAQ: * All donations are being coordinated by a local family (Thank you Arslan Family!). The donations are being coordinated with the Turkish Consulate in Boston. All items will be placed on Turkish Airlines direct flight to Istanbul within a day of collection (February 18). After transport, all items are brought to the nearest functioning airport to be delivered directly into the disaster zone. No funds are needed to help with transporting these goods. * IF you would like to make a monetary donation, you may do so here: https://donate.tpfund.org/team/480703<http://url4609.membershiptoolkit.com/ls/click?upn=er8IdfVRSZKYn-2FJwieWgBmkOsvR6WNEG3auaYQ1td-2F-2FqJ7B0BQfiacHEITwYZ-2FaKbAag_XK3v3az9DTQONEpCj68-2FlvIljurv6SLUh5AERAu-2Bi67TDaq5mvssKSlTyitGmptJVCU1O3Ae1XBSRClXbnilu3sA-2Bqsihj7OTm1Pqwbs8XlrvUNKASx82s2k1KwgbxztMEPr0p53-2BhT3LqbQ438vRSJlPGoT2blOOgGsomaDirQ0hGlhlWQhNtcyz9uVfNjpCiiRuOCCsaKCMfj2T16Uu7fzZ-2BgsgcH1y-2BKKmjN3socRbjty-2F8NDp05y9EM-2FnwBe-2Be1N86Jz1JhSf06gpXULguuDsGozSkuCBuZieHhyd9SPJOExIuGVlH2mQhY7DOTI9972f6uVa4ipqvDpevZBtV6aAhVq28zLuh8uOaUR-2BRsl69W9X-2BtHdpJQQWZJCrxW> All information regarding these donations can be found on the website.
