First
Presbyterian Church began the Missionary Apparel Closet in December
1996 with the desire to assist with the needs of missionaries and
their families. The clothing is donated by our church members and
others. Missionaries who attend our annual conference or visit throughout
the year are given the opportunity to select from a variety of styles
and types of clothing. To date, we have served approximately 350
missionary families through the Apparel Closet. Additionally, we
have shared with other charitable organizations and ministries which
provide for the needs of people in our local community. There is
ever any cost to the recipients.
If you would like to donate “new” or “almost
new” clothing to the Apparel Closet, please bring your items
(on hangers if possible) to the Administration Office. Business
hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday – Thursday and 9:00
a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Fridays.
If you have further questions regarding the Missionary Apparel
Closet, please call the Church Office at 478-746-3223. |
