2024 T-Shirts for sale!!!
Of the many worthy causes that the color Purple has come to stand for, we have chosen it to symbolize - homelessness. The charity that we are making a donation to this year is The Dorothy Day House, whose mission is to provide temporary housing and support services to families experiencing homelessness. Please purchase your Purple T-Shirt with Light Gray lettering knowing that part of those funds is helping someone get back on their feet.
