UNIFORM RESALE PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
It’s a two-fer! By donating uniforms you can no longer use; you declutter your closets and help provide financial assistance for a St. Francis student. Beginning on May 11th, we will accept clean, gently used uniforms that you have either outgrown, never used or just won’t need in college. Collection bins will be located in the hallways through June 12th. The uniform resale will be held during the book test on June 19th. For questions, please contact Gail Talley, 815-439-8278, gntalley@msn.com
