Four Seasons is a new ministry just getting started at St. Stephen’s. Our mission is to help clothe needy children in seasonally appropriate attire by soliciting, collecting, cleaning and distributing new and like new clothing four times a year (once per season). We are targeting helping children within the Town of Warwick, which encompasses Warwick, Florida and Greenwood Lake. To ensure we are helping those most in need, families would qualify for this program if they are already part of the free or reduced-rate lunch program through the school system.
In order to obtain the clothing to provide to those children who qualify, Four Seasons is soliciting clothing donations through various outreach methods including St. Stephen’s and other local churches, Warwick Parenting Facebook groups, and the local schools. Utilizing volunteers, the donated clothing will be collected, washed, dried, ironed, sorted by gender/size/season and then stored in a donated space. Distribution of the donated clothing will take place four times per year (once per season). Each season 5-6 outfits will be curated for each child enrolled in the program and distributed on the following schedule:
- February Delivery - Spring Clothing
- May Delivery - Summer Clothing
- August Delivery - Fall Clothing
- November Delivery - Winter Clothing
If you have clothing that no longer fits your little one, please consider donating them to Four Seasons. Children’s Clothing Donation Drop-Off Events will take place monthly at St. Stephen’s the First Martyr Church. Follow-us on Facebook @FourSeasonsKids to find out when the next donation event is taking place and to for how to sign-up!
Please note that Four Seasons takes donations of children’s clothing ONLY newborn to size 12. Please no shoes, toys, stuffed animals, blankets, towels, etc. Clothing should be gently used/like new (or new) with no stains, holes, pills, pulls, etc. Any amount of clothing for any season can be dropped off at each donation event.
