Grandma’s Attic Tag & Bake Sales
Grandma’s Attic actually resides in the basement of our church. It consists of several rooms full of treasures! We open it up several times a year to sell the donated items to people in our community. When Grandma’s Attic is open, we also have a Bake Sale full of goodies baked by church members.
Clothing Shed
St. Pauly Textile Inc. is a Western NY based, family owned for-profit company and an A+ member of the Better Business Bureau. Our goal is to get USEABLE clothing to people who can use it, here in the U.S. and in developing countries, while having a meaningful impact in our local communities.
Behind our church, in the parking lot, is a clothing collection shed. We encourage our community to recycle/reuse no longer wanted clothing items here. Proceeds from these donations support the missions of our church, and your donations make a meaninful impact on the lives of people in the US and in developing countries
What to Drop-off
Used Clothing, shoes, sneakers, belts, purses, linens, pillowcases, blankets, curtains, and stuffed animals.
Please place all donations in tied plastic bags!
What Not to Drop-off:
Furniture, electronics, household items, books, toys, garbage, pillows, rags, and fabric scraps.
How this works:
Community members drop off clothing at the clothing shed.
St. Pauly Textile, Inc. purchases the clothing from us. We use the money to support our missions and community projects. St Pauly sells and distribute the clothing that they purchase all over the US and world to organizations such as foreign governments, relief organizations, the U.N., private companies and the U.S. government.
This is the most cost effective way for these organizations around the globe to get large quantities of clothing for people in communities that they represent. All clothing is sold for pennies on the pound by St. Pauly Textile, Inc., in large quantities at a time.
Why St. Pauly Textile Inc. collects clothing:
1) According to the EPA, 85% of clothing in the U.S. is thrown away. This means that only about 15% of clothing that could potentially be re-used is collected using existing methods.
2) There is an enormous global need for used clothing. We are able to distribute clothing to organizations and people all over the world who could use it. All of the clothing and textiles that we collect is used by someone somewhere.
