Oxford PTO slates clothing drive, shred day fundraiser at Center School

OXFORD - The Oxford Parent Teacher Organization will hold a Clothing Drive and Shred It Day fundraiser at Oxford Center School from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Oct. 27.

Shred Drive:
A truck from Secure Shred It will be at the school and will shred all documents on site. Oxford PTO encourages people to protect themselves and their families against identity theft by attending the event. 

People can destroy unwanted junk mail, old family papers, documents, and confidential home/office papers safely and easily at the event. It is also a good way for people to recycle, PTO members say. 
People who cannot attend the event can still participate. 
Shredding prices start at $10; for more on how to do so, or for more information on the event, contact Lisa Suttile at mominxoxford4@me.com or at 203-217-0500.

Clothing Drive:

The Oxford PTO will conduct its semi-annual clothing drive in conjunction with Shred It Day Oct. 27-28 all weekend at Oxford Center School GAZEBO, 462 Oxford Road (Route 67).
PLEASE BE SURE BAGS ARE SEALED AND LEFT IN THE GAZEBO.

Items being collected include gently used clothing (men, women, children), shoes, accessories (belts, pocketbooks, scarves, ties, hats), linens (bedding, curtains, tablecloths, towels), stuffed animals and toys (nothing breakable or too large).

All items should be placed in tightly sealed plastic garbage bags. 

Fragile items, as well as any books, large outdoor furniture, car seats or VCR tapes will not be accepted. Cleats that are donated need to be placed into a separate bag and marked accordingly.

This is shared from Oxford PTO Facebook page.
