Hermano Day 2023 is Sunday, March 19
Sunday, March 19, 2023 is Hermano Day at St. Paul’s, when we recognize the sacrifice of our neighbors who do the hard work of planting and harvesting our food. One way the Farmworker Ministry here at St. Paul’s supports the work of the Episcopal Farmworker Ministry in Newton Grove, NC, is by collecting donations of clothes and other items (see below for a list of most needed items) and presenting them on Hermano Day. Financial donations are always welcome. Contact Katie Bricio (katiebricio13@gmail.com) with any questions, or if you need to drop off donations before March 19.
Most needed items include:
- Work Pants – sizes 30 through 34: used are fine; and preferably lightweight, not jeans
- Long sleeved shirts – sizes small, M, L, preferably lightweight and light colors
- Towels – bath and hand towels
- Socks – sport all sizes
