Are you good at organizing and/or sorting? Do you have some free time on Sunday afternoons?  

Then join us for a hands-on volunteer day where we turn generous clothing donations into ready-to-use resources for children and youth in need. Volunteers will help sort through recent donations, selecting high-quality items to keep for distribution and setting aside pieces that can be redirected elsewhere. Together, we’ll ensure that every child we serve receives clean, well-fitting, and season-appropriate clothing—packed with care and dignity.

No special skills required—just a willingness to roll up your sleeves and make a difference!

Typically we sort every other Sunday after noon. To make sure, check out our calendar on our website
