Men’s Casual Clothing Needed
Serve the Hungry has a need for men's casual clothing. Now is a good time to clean out your closets and give your gently worn casual shirts, jeans, khakis, and shoes to a worthy cause. Since we have had so many cold days this winter, we still need sweaters and sweatshirts especially in sizes large, extra-large and 2X. We also need travel-size toiletries - shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion. Take your donations to the church office. Thank you for supporting this outreach program.
