We want to send a big THANK YOU to the Bremen Community and their annual 'Mom-to-Mom' sale. All of the leftover children's apparel and items were made available as a donation to the Neighborhood Center and helped provide needed kids' clothing for our clothing pantry.

Our Clothing Pantry hosted a "Shop 'Til You Drop" Event recently, as a way to clear out our seasonal inventory. Volunteers Marcia Pownell and Sharron Yambrick worked tirelessly to see that clients found just the right items to take home. We distributed over 2200 items of clothing, shoes, and household linens and now have room for all of our fall and winter items.
 
 
To accomodate this year's holiday donations, we are in need of off-site storage space. We are asking for free, dry space in the Plymouth area, where we can hold donated food, toys and clothing until the Christmas holiday.  If you have any space to donate, please contact Sara Hill.
