Buzzing with Activity: our revolving clothing closet

At the Family Support Center, we continue to assist families through a variety of means, helping people navigate life.  Sometimes that is through consoling people with lost work and financial difficulties, helping apply for work, taking to appointments, and/or helping in minor practical ways.  One of the ways we do this and also build relationships with people is through providing clothing and diapers.  We recently have encouraged women who come regularly, to also donate clothing they don't need and assist in organizing new donations. It is becoming more and more a community clothing closet. 

Yesterday women from Bethany Presbyterian Church came and donated an immense amount of great kids clothes and shoes.  It was as though the word got out that our closet was overflowing with recent donations, because today in the Family Support Center we had consistent flow of families, about 12-14 women and their children, asking for clothing and diapers! It's a very small space, so 3-4 women and their kids with bags of new clothing, as well as others coming in with other questions, definitely made it feel like our small center was buzzing with activity. 

Many thanks to the generous donations of BPC and your ongoing relationship with me and our ministry at Tierra Nueva!
