Skate and donate.
Lansdale’s drag queen Annie Christ and resident skateboarder Dan Pancoast will be holding a second Skater-Aid Supply Drive for Trinity Lutheran Church’s Code Blue Shelter next month at the Lansdale Skate Park.
Christ and Pancoast did the drive in 2021 and it turned out to be a huge success, they said.
Donations will be accepted at the Lansdale Skate Park at Fourth Street Pool and Park in Lansdale Borough from Noon to 4 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 12.
