This is a furniture and appliance program in which the item is called in by the donour, picked up by us and either sent directly to one of our clients who previously informed us of the need of the particular item or sent to our warehouse for temporary storage until the item is needed. Some repair work is done at the warehouse if the donated item is in need of some minor repairs. Food, clothing and furniture are distributed free of charge to needy families, and to individuals who request assistance. The goal of this organization is to aid those people who are without food or are in dire need of adequate furniture and clothing.
Food is collected daily from bakeries, dairies, grocery stores and farmers.
Groceries are picked up from churches who designate one Sunday a month as Food Sunday. The Center's continual success and operation is dependent upon volunteers and donations from individuals, businesses, churches and other organizations. Individual and needy families range in age from infancy single parenthood and our senior citizens on fixed incomes. The common denominator among these people is centred on how higher costs in rent, gas, and heating that leave them no monetary resources to buy stable food supplies. The Center has also been involved with seminars such as the Breathe Free Plan to Stop Smoking and Healthy Choices Cooking School.
