Calvary’s Great Giveaway To Return Calvary Monument Bible Church (CMBC) has invited the community to its Great Giveaway nearly every summer for about 20 years now.

For a long time, the event was organized by church member Joyce Lacock, but when she retired from running it a few years ago, church staff took over the event. The giveaway was successful, attracting hundreds of attendees who formed lines that extended well into the church parking lot.

Then came 2020, and COVID-19 restrictions made it impossible to hold the event. “I am so glad it’s back this year,” said Chris Lenhart, lead pastor at CMBC. This year’s giveaway, which will

feature free clothing, household items, books, and more, will be held on Saturday, Aug. 7, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. inside the church, 1660 Mine Road, Paradise. The church is located at the corner where Mine and South Kinzer roads meet.

Lenhart said that organizers began planning the event early this year, and that new or gently used items would start coming into the church in late July.

Edie Weaver, one of the organizers oversees the process of accepting donations.

“Edie wants it to be an item someone can use,” said Lenhart. “So she is pretty particular about what we will take.” Donations are sorted by volunteers the week before the giveaway.

Items that will be available for free will include clothing
