Clothes Closet: Meet A Need
We created more community bridges with the backpack drive (this year and last), we brought more of our neighbors on board by providing arenas for everyone to become involved in serving their community, and here we are now: standing on yet another precipice where even more can become a part of a community wide solution, where Christ is the center.
Jumping off the encouraging success of the “Have A Need? Meet A Need?” backpack drive, we are continuing our serve in another way. What we’re asking now is that you partner with us as we provide outerwear for those in our community who can use our assistance.
Here’s how you can partner with us:
- You can donate your gently used clothing of all sizes
- You can provide administrative assistance
- You can coordinate volunteers before, during and after event
- You can create connections with community members who are seeking our assistance
- You can be that special volunteer that will do whatever, whenever, just because we asked
We’re kicking this event off Sunday, October 31, 2010 at 1100a, at Prescott Church. If you can partner with us anytime leading up to the event, during the event or afterward, we would love to serve alongside you. For more info, email Russ Cantu or call the church office at 209-529-7200. In the meantime, you can schedule a time to drop off your items at the church. All donations need to be received by Oct 28th.

Clothes Closet, final push
OCT 31, 2010 // Starting at 1100a
3000 Prescott Road @ Prescott Church
Community Clothes Closet*
Need a little extra help this year with clothes? Do your kids need a winter coat or just a few items to make a wardrobe? Perhaps you might even need a few things. As a church and community, we want you to know we are all together in this. We are meant to meet one another’s needs.
That’s what we’re doing this Sunday. It all starts at 1100a at Prescott Church. First come; first serve. Take whatever you need. Everything from women’s blouses to men’s pants. Kids clothing and even items for infants. So tell your friends; tell your neighbors. Let’s do this, together!

Clothes Closet Wrap
Dozens of volunteers, even more donors and close to a ton (literally) of clothes became available to our community this past Sunday. The end result: The needs of over 100 families (that’s a conservative estimate) were met as they carried off bags of clothing that would take care of their families for months to come.
More than that, we helped foster community on a deeper level and helped stage another success in the future. Thank you to all who took part in this venture and keep an eye out for the next big thing to hit Project Community.
