View the Kid's Closet page >>
- Open Saturdays from 9-12 and Tuesdays from 3-7
- Located in the basement of the church, Administrative wing
- Always accepting donations and volunteers to assist. Donations can be left in the box at the foot of the stairs leading to the choir room in the basement.
- Particular needs:
- Someone to occasionally fill in during the open hours.
- Someone to take home the occasional bag of laundry (many donations come from school Lost & Found).
- Someone to pick up donations that aren't brought in.
- It would be nice to have something for kids to do while a parent is shopping so the Kid’s Closet welcomes donations of toys, games, puzzles for this purpose.
