About Us
The Pass It On Event is a ministry created in 2008. It is driven to benefit those most in need in our community. We strive to provide families with much needed clothing and accessories for their children. We all know children grow so fast, they need new supplies frequently. We collect donations and twice a year we set up our Church Hall as a place for families to come and "shop" for free for their children.

The Pass It On Event occurs every spring and fall, usually May and October. We gratefully accept donations of children's clothing, toys, baby equipment, and all children's necessities in good condition. Please bring them to St. Ann's Condon Hall Wednesday through Friday prior to each event. Invitations are given out by local charities to families in need to attend the event. Families in need who have not received an invitation through a referring agency may come to shop at 10:30 am the day of the Pass It On Event. Please email pass.it.on@comcast.net with any questions regarding donations or attending the event.

Our Mission Statement
Our PASS IT ON ministry aims to serve our church and local community with a free children's clothing and toy event. Our primary mission is to “clothe the naked”…help provide much needed clothes to families most in need, as well as providing them with other much needed children’s items. Our secondary goal is to help meet the clothing needs of other families whose budgets are tight and free clothes can be of great assistance.

SPRING 2009
At our Spring 2009 event, we able to give away maternity clothing, newborn to teen clothing, toys, books, videos, shoes, dress-up costumes, holiday outfits, furniture, strollers, cribs, and all sorts of baby equipment. Business donations included toothbrushes, gift certificates, food coupons and balloons. We also generously received complimentary meals for our volunteers from local restaurants and various groups within our church. Gift cards from local business were appreciated as they defrayed the cost of much needed supplies.
