YOU CAN HELP: What’s needed for the Closet at Chief Sealth International High School

| How to help | West Seattle news | West Seattle schools

Here’s a chance to include local students in your holiday-season giving:

Chief Sealth International High School is looking for some donations for its Closet which is stocked with school supplies, toiletries, clothing, and a food pantry for students in need. We’re hoping that as you shop the holiday sales, you might consider picking up and donating these items for the Closet:

* Women’s and Men’s underwear — all sizes Small – XXL and preferably boxer briefs for the men

* Women’s and Men’s socks — no-show and crew-style athletic socks, men’s dress socks, as well as fun and just plain everyday socks

* Plain white undershirts — all sizes

We can always use new or gently used:

* T-shirts and long-sleeve t-shirts

* Hoodies

* Athletic shorts and pants (these items don’t stay on our shelves long!)

* Warm winter coats

* Men’s suits in black, gray, or dark blue

You can drop by donations at the school’s front office anytime during the week, 8:30 am -4:30 pm. If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Conley at lisalconley@hotmail.com.

Thank you! We’re grateful to our generous West Seattle community for its support of our students.

Sealth is at 2600 SW Thistle; the main entrance is up the stairs across the driveway from the northwest end of the parking lot.

If the daytime hours are difficult for those who work, Saint John’s Episcopal Church has a collection box for Chief Sealth. The main doors are open from 730 am – 1 pm on Sundays. St John’s is right in front of West Seattle High, corner of California and Hanford.

Dropped some items at the school today but it was not easy. Glad to know I can drop them at your church.

is there an Amazon wish list? Or can donate $, that would make it super easy for people…

Hi, folks –

Thank you to our great WS community for its generosity! We have heard from so many people and already gathered some donations for the Closet. If you’d like to make a cash donation, please write a check made out to CSIHS and mail or drop it by the school office — 2600 SW Thistle, Seattle 98126.

We can also arrange to pick up donations. Just email me (Lisa, a CSIHS parent and volunteer) at lisalconley@hotmail.com to figure out a time and day that works.

Thank you to our friends at Saint John’s for offering their church as a drop off location as well.

Cheers!
