Hello volunteers! We have received a lot of clothing donations from generous supporters and we could use a hand getting it sorted. We take clothing, along with hygiene kits, shoes, blankets, pillows, and more to encampments and shelters to distribute to those in need. The items will be folded and sorted into bins so we can easily fetch requested items and sizes from the truck.
Please RSVP below. I will email my phone number to attendees so I can let you into storage on arrival. There is parking available.
All are welcome, looking forward to seeing you there!
