Clothing and Supplies Needed for Guatemala

Margaret Young will be spending a month in Guatemala this summer and has received a request for clothing in good condition to be distributed to children and adults in need there. It used to be that the girls and women never wore American-style clothing, but that is changing, and American-style clothes are becoming very popular. Items that would be particularly helpful include the following: Babies (Newborn on up) Baby clothes (size newborn on up) Baby blankets Pajamas Diapers Diaper pins Sweaters Socks and shoes Children and Teens White shirts for church Pants for church (one of Margaret's Guatemalan boys needs a pair of boys' size 18 church pants) Dresses Pants for play Shirts for play Sweaters Zip-up sweaters Lightweight jackets for the rain Socks and underwear Pajamas Men Most of the men wear size small or medium; a few wear size large. Pants Shirts T-shirts Women Many of the women are heavier and wear larger sizes, such as size 14. Dresses (warm) Sweaters Skirts T-shirts Underwear Miscellaneous Personal items, such as toothbrushes, combs, and brushes Towels Sheets and pillowcases Fabric Children's books in Spanish Crayons, pens, pencils, and notebooks Toys are always a blessing—they love marbles! Floppy disks (Margaret uses one for each family) If you have any of these items that are in good condition that you would be willing to donate, please contact Margaret at Margaret_Young@byu.edu.
