Earlier this month, when I had the chance to visit Keetha of the Eclectic Company, she was volunteering at The Shepherd's Loft. The church she attends in Wisconsin Rapids has turned an entire church basement into the most complete clothing outlet I have ever seen.
On well arranged racks clothes are sorted and labelled, and townspeople can sign in, and fill two stand up grocery bags with clothing of their choice free of charge.
It boggles my mind that they have so many clothes to re-purpose to others and the scope and amount of stuff is just amazing to me.
Keetha herself has devoted an excellent post to this subject complete with fine pictures and I urge you to check it out. Just click here.
Our church with four times the members cooks and serves one meal per week for the community. I am humbled by the ministry of the Baker Street Community Church.
Great work by both of you. May this venture turn out to be a blessing to the churches.
ReplyDeleteWow Annie! tHis is just lovely!!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful how much a local church does for a community. Whether it's food, clothing or spiritual, the community as a whole is a better place. Thanks for this, Annie :)
