Saint Francis Softball gives back to the community

The Saint Francis Softball team is currently collecting items for the Children's Home of Pittsburgh and Mario Lemieux Family Center. The facility is located in Lawrenceville just down the street from the new Children's Hospital that is being built. The organization is non-profit depends upon donations to offer assistance to its families. The facility offers transitional care for infants and children, day care for medically fragile children, adoption services, and living space for families so that they may spend time with their children. To lend a helping hand, we are including as many people across campus and beyond to collect as many items as possible. Every little bit helps!

Items we are collecting include:
Gift cards in $5-$10 increments for Target, Wal-Mart, Giant Eagle, gas cards
New Pillows
New or used Playstation games
New or used DVDs family appropriate
Queen and full sized blankets and comforters for kids and adults

New and gently used Baby/Toddler clothes up to size 4T

New preemie and Newborn socks
Coloring books and crayons
