PowerPlant

Hey Red Door, as some of you may know PowerPlant is in town this week.  They have been super busy passing out our “Hi” cards with us around the UG.  (Not to mention working their little booties off in this heat.)  I walked around a little bit Monday and Thursday it was great to get to know some of them a little bit.  Today, we are having our Day-O-Fun at Heritage Glen from 3-6. You guys should totally come and hang out with the PowerPlant team, the Heritage Glen kids and of course each other.  We will have all kinds of pretty awesome games and activities.  So bring the fam and come out from 3-6.

Here are directions…

ReThreads 101

Hey Guys this is Sarah, I just wanted to let you in on ReThreads…ReThreads is a new free store coming to serve the Fairfield Community.  It’s purpose is to simply provide quality free shoes and clothing to those forgotten in our city. Fairfield is in desperate need of a place where the poor and forgotten of our city can come for free clothing they can be proud to wear…and we want to do this together.  For the month of June Red Door will be participating in a clothing drive. We will be collecting quality gently used clothing and shoes.  There is a special need for brand spankin new undies and socks.  No one wants your used under garments…that’s just gross.

The Grand Opening is August 14, 2010. Each time we open it is a one day shopping experience for our community.  We would love for you to join us in making this happen.

Here’s how you can get the clothes to us…

• drop off at any Red Door Gathering or Core Team Meeting
• drop off at any Fairfield schools
• send in via snail mail at P.O. Box 498112, Cincinnati, Ohio 45249

Here’s how you can get involved…

• Help us sort on either June 29th or July 10th
• Help us with the Grand Opening August 14th

If you have any questions about getting the clothes to us or getting involved you can shoot me an email at sarah@iamreddoor.org.
