Pause on Clothing Donations

We were extremely blessed to receive numerous clothing donations over the past couple months. Our limited storage space has now reached full capacity, so we need time to sort through these items. Therefore, we have decided to temporarily PAUSE acceptance of CLOTHING donations until approximately June 2022.

COVID-19 Update:

  • We are happy to resume our usual times of service: Monday – Thursday (8am – 2pm) and Friday (8am – 1pm).
  • We continue to accept food donations. Thank you for generously supporting the needy among us.
