The Closet

A new United Methodist Women/Gay Street United Methodist Church mission project called “The Closet” will open on Friday, October 23, 2009. This will continue to be held on the third Friday of each month. The United Methodist Women have purchased soap, detergent, toothbrushes, shampoo, diapers, disposable hygiene items and other taxable products that a food card doesn’t cover.

"The Closet" will be open from 4:00—7:00 P.M. in Room 101. Everything will be available free of charge to persons who present their Award Letter or food stamp Directions card.

In addition, used winter clothing will be available free. We expect that many persons coming to Hot Meals will take advantage of "The Closet."

If you would like to donate coats or jackets, please bring them to the church office or see Norma Siekkinen or Peg McCracken.

All donations are appreciated, but monetary donations are preferred since they have arrangements to buy these items in bulk. Checks should be made out to Gay Street UMC, in the memo section write “The Closet” and all monies will be forward to the UMW Treasurer. We are working together to provide this valuable outreach to our sisters and brothers in Christ.
