Organizational Updates

During the donation pause we held our first bag sale, which was a great success and helped us make a lot more room for incoming donations! We’ve also been making some much-needed improvements to the area where we store and process items, including installing new shelves, fixing the wall around our back door, and painting.

Thanks to all of the hard work by our many volunteers, we will be done with this work and ready to receive donations again by Friday, December 5.

Thank you for your patience and support during this project!
