has clothing & groceries available for hurricane victims.
The clothing has been sorted through & only the "good
stuff" has been kept. It is all sorted, folded, stacked & hung
up by size so it is very easy to shop through & get what
you need. We have baby clothes up to extended adult sizes. We
also have some groceries, i.e. canned goods. We have good shoes,
toys, some bedding, and some personal hygiene items also. We
will probably keep this out in our family life center until the
end of September, then we will have to do something with it.
