‘Sparkill Dominican Associates…Making a Difference!’

The Sparkill Dominican Associates in New York provided an ice cream social for the Sisters to celebrate the end of their monthlong project to collect pajamas and books for children who go to bed each night having to wear the clothing they wore all day because they are either living in shelters or their families lack the resources to provide them with sleepwear. Having collected 730 pairs of pajamas and accompanying books, the Associates and Sisters wrapped each pair of pajamas, along with an age-appropriate book for bedtime reading, which will be donated to children in area shelters in collaboration with Pajama Game.
