I have been busy lately trying to plan a clothing give away for our church and have run into a stumbling block which is very frustrating to me. The idea of the clothing give away was to reach out to our community, so I naturally called the two schools in the neighbourhood to see if I could send pre made flyers home with the children. The one school had me call the communications director for their board office and see if I could get permission from her. ( I have called several times and am now convinced she is never in her office or a "made up" escape goat for situations like this one, which is too controversial to answer. The other school turned me down outright because my church was not of the right denomination, not in so many words, but the is the distinct impression I got. ARGH!
On a positive note, I contacted the closest community schools in the vicinity of my church and they were excited about the give away and told me how much flyers I would need and everything. I was greatly encouraged because just with these two schools alone we would potentially be reaching out to nearly 300 families in need. Now I just need more people to donate and my job of marketing specialist is complete.
