Release Time Umbrella Drive

The Rimersburg/Sligo Association of Churches is reaching out to various churches in Clarion County to ask for help for an umbrella drive for the Release Time Program they run. This drive will benefit the students who attend Union. Release Time is when students, grades 2-6, are released from school once/week to get a message about GOD's love. There is a 98% attendance rate, with 75% not being regular church attendees outside this program. This program has had a positive impact on the students of Union SD for over 68 years. This drive will allow students to attend this program when it is raining.

We need over 200 umbrellas, which will be kept at the school. There are several ways you can help. Your church can do a love offering. Make checks out to “Rimersburg/Sligo Association of Churches.” Please put "umbrellas" in the memo line. Please send them to the assoc. treasurer, Carol Scott, at 3330 Rt 68, Rimersburg, Pa 16248. You can also make an announcement and share the attached flier. If you feel lead, you could collect umbrellas from your congregation. When you are ready for them to be collected, please call the number below.

There is a Facebook group called “Release Time Umbrella Drive 2022-2023.” We will try to update the totals as umbrellas come in. The goal is to have the bulk of the umbrellas in place no later than 10/30/22, but this drive will run until all umbrellas are purchased.

If you have any questions or need your donations picked up, please call Leslie Lawrence at 814-745-3351. You drop donated umbrellas at Tom's Riverside in Rimersburg. 

Thank you for support!!
