Presbyterian Women are collecting box top for education. These box tops will be sent to Thornwell Home for Children in Clinton, SC. This home has been taking in children and youth in need since its founding on October 1, 1875.

The box tops will be used to help receive school equipment for the Child Development Center. The box tops can come from any General Mills cereal or Snack food; Betty Crocker Meal & Sides or Baking products; Pillsbury Refrigerated or Frozen item; Ziploc storage bags or containers; Kleenex, Viva, Scott or Cottonelle paper products; or any Hefty tableware or waste bags. For a more complete list you can check them out on the web at:

With the support of Presbyterian Church (USA) congregations, the home nurtures more than 400 children, many of whom suffer from mild to moderate emotional problems stemming from the death of a parent; a separation or divorce; families experiencing types of dependency or abuse; and parent’s/guardian’s disabling health or advanced age.

Are you tired of moving it from one place to another or just plain running out of places to put it all? You get the idea. And PW has a solution that cannot only lighten your load, but also lighten up the lives of those in need. If you garden’s getting over-crowded, give us you extra plants. Got too many tools or some you no longer need? Donate them to the PW yard sale. And about those excess household items, furniture, bedding items, toys, wall hangings, books, CDs, even pet items (bowls, leashes). PW will take them off your hands. Dates: Friday, June 13th -Saturday, June 14th

Anyone interested in doing a few macramé plant hangers should contact Linda Guinn (706) 379-9663

Watch for the box labeled Thornwell.
