The Community Outreach Center survives because people (YOU) bring us donations of all kinds including food, clothing, blankets, towels, kitchen wares, toys and cash donations! We are so grateful and because you give, we give, too...all for free and given in Jesus' Name. We NEED your donations!
But did you know that since January we have received 11 tons of donations? At the end of March, we had received 22,000+ pounds of “donation gifts,” from You! How in the world do we sort, size, hang, fold, wash, shelf, categorize all those “gifts?”
It is a huge job that takes hundreds of volunteer hours! One volunteer, Carla Engels, is one of the reasons we get so much done. She works so hard to get all those donations into the hands of volunteers, to have it put on our shopping floor in an organized manor. She has a background in staging housewares and clothing and uses her experience to set up our shopping area so well that families that come to shop for needed items, can find them in the labeled areas just like a department store! She is organized, thoughtful, energized and full of compassion for our shoppers. Carla is the “Energizer Bunny” at the COC, and we could not help as many people without her desire to make the COC a better place to shop and to help the Lord’s Families! We are so grateful for her time and her effort and her willingness to serve!
