Rummage Sales and Holiday Bazaar
Donations of used clothing and household items are received Monday - Wednesday at St. James and beautifully presented in a Rummage Sale in the spring and fall. The Holiday Bazaar takes place the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving which includes select donations as well as fresh baked goods. Prices are affordable and attractive to all. Proceeds benefit the outreach programs at St. James. During the last few years, in addition to the sales, this collection of donations from Parish member and the larger community has evolved into a ministry to the Taos Community and St. Paul's Peace Episcopal / Lutheran Church in Las Vegas, NM. Donations now provide ongoing help to the following organizations:
Taos Municipal Schools - Office supplies and a printer
Taos Police - Stuffed animals for traumatized children
Men's Shelter - Seasonal socks and warm clothing
Food Pantry - Clothing and toys
Dream Tree (a residential teen facility) - Clothing for youth
Rocky Mountain Youth Corp (a day program for teens who are unable to attend regular public youth classes) - food and school supplies
These events rely on the enthusiastic help of volunteers who transport items to the church for sale and set up the parish hall so that merchandise is attractive and accessible. Contact: Elizabeth Halley, thehaircutter@hotmail.com
THE GIVING TREE
Each Christmas, foster children in Taos County receive gifts of clothing, books, toys, sporting goods and other items, purchased and presented by the members of St. James. The children are clients of the Taos office of New Mexico Children, Youth, and Family Department.
