Caring and Sharing Center

“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)

Caring and Sharing Center Mission Statement/Purpose

To provide gently used clothing and household items in good condition for the needy in our community and surrounding counties.

We only accept gently used seasonal apparel only. We are not able to accept any winter clothing at this time as there is no storage. For a detailed list of what the center does and does not accept, click here.

Major Accomplishments
The Caring and Sharing Center provides a variety of clothing and household items free of charge to over 400 individuals or families every month.

Major Activity
Volunteers work in teams of two for two or three-hour shifts helping people find clothing and household goods that meet their needs. Some volunteers also come during hours that the Center is closed to sort donations and put them out for display.

Meeting Frequency
Volunteers are needed to help during the times the center is open (see Hours of Operation above). Individuals sign up for whatever shift best suits their needs. Scheduling is flexible and can be weekly, monthly or as available. A few times each year we have large-group volunteer meetings that are optional but attendance is highly encouraged.

Meeting Venue
The Caring and Sharing Center, which is located at the north end of the campus, near the St Thomas More School Gymnasium.
