PROJECT
Looking to be a blessing? Our supply closet is depleted. When male ex-offenders are released, Corrections brings them to our neighbor Amtrak station to go back to their post-prison destination. They are often released with only the clothes on their backs, no coats and a paper bag to carry their belongings. Together, we can help!
Now collecting gym bags, men’s large & XL jackets
Bring items to the church office or place in the marked barrels on 3rd & 4th floor
