The Salvation Army Announces the 2012 Project Bundle Up Campaign with new collection locations at NorthPark and SouthPark Malls
Quad Cities, USA: As families find it harder and harder to make ends meet, The Salvation Army asks the community to step in and help children stay warm this coming winter. The ninth Annual Project Bundle Up Campaign begins today.
The Salvation Army will deliver thousands of cold weather clothing items to Quad Cities' elementary & middle schools to fill the needs of students who arrive at school without these essential items. School teachers are on the frontlines watching for children who come to school without mittens & gloves, hats, socks, underwear, and scarves, and Project Bundle Up A new way to donate to this much-needed program is located in the Quad Cities Malls! Items can be dropped off in NorthPark Mall at Guest Services in Younkers Court, or in SouthPark Mall at Guest Services located in the mall office.
"The need increases every year. Last year's delivery to 23 schools was over 4,000 items, and yet we received calls a few weeks later from schools seeing if we had any more!" stated Holly Nomura, Development Director at The Salvation Army.
Donations can also be mailed, marked "Project Bundle Up," to: The Salvation Army, P.O. Box 3972, Davenport, IA 52808. A gift of any size by October 22, 2012 will greatly help!
Businesses are also asked to do a collection drive. For further information, please call Holly Nomura at 563-324-4808.
