Beginning Sunday November 2nd and continuing on the first Sunday of each month, we will once again be accepting clean, gently used clothing for women of all sizes and children (boys and girls). As we prepare for the cooler months, we are especially in need of Fall and Winter items such as coats, long-sleeve shirts, pants, and jeans. Please note: Due to hygiene standards, we are unable to accept undergarments. Thank you in advance for your generosity and continued support in serving one another. As you donate, please remember to give items in the same loving condition you would be happy to receive yourself. Your service and support truly make a difference! ❤️ As an FYI we have switched out our summer and spring pieces to make room for the fall and winter items. Shopping for the items in the Closet will occur on the 2nd Sunday of the month immediately following service.
