A linen drive will be conducted at the Mission of Deeds (6
Chapin Avenue in Reading) from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on Saturday, December 15, 2012. Mission of Deeds serves the needy in the greater Boston area by providing them with household goods. The Mission of Deeds desperately needs new or used blankets, bed sheets, comforters, mattress pads, towels/face cloths, dish cloths, crib linens and new pillows as we enter the cold winter season. Twin bed sheets, blankets, mattress pads and comforters are in particular need.
There are two mechanisms in place to make donations. Donated items can be brought to the Mission of Deeds facility at 6 Chapin Avenue in Reading from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm this Saturday (12/15/12). Boy Scout Troop 702
will be available to collect and sort your donated items. Alternatively, during the next two weeks items can be placed into collection boxes that have been placed at Bagel World in Reading, Reading Memorial High School, Coolidge Middle School, and Wal-Mart in North Reading. All donations are greatly appreciated and will directly help the needy in our area. The linen drive is being conducted as part of an Eagle project by Benjamin Oakes of Boy Scout Troop 702 in Reading. Please contact Benjamin at 781-942-2559 if you have any questions about the drive.
