Helping Hands of Celina Fall Clothing Event
Helping Hands of Celina will be offering an opportunity for qualifying students to receive fall/winter clothing, shoes and toiletries this Saturday, November 13th. This opportunity is available to all Celina ISD students in grades PreK through 12th.
Date: Saturday, November 13th
Time: 9am-12:00
Location: Lifeway Church, 701 E. Pecan Street (across from Celina Middle School)
It is important for students to have appropriate clothing as the weather turns cooler so they can stay warm. We want them to be comfortable so they can focus on their education while they are in school.
If your family needs assistance meeting your student(s) essential needs, please plan to attend this shopping event. There will be an application for you to fill out when you arrive and then you can proceed with your shopping. This is a first come, first served event and we cannot guarantee that we will have all sizes available.
Sincerely,
Helping Hands of Celina
