Mission Central invites you to join us for a plant and vendor fair on May 4, 2024, here at Mission Central!

We encourage you to stop by with friends and family to shop local artisans and tour our warehouse. We know how impactful a tour of the warehouse can be in understanding our mission and the work we do, so we hope to see you there!

If you are interested in supporting this event as a vendor or sponsor, please contact Maggie Kissinger, Director of Development and Communications, at [email protected].

Throughout 2023, we assessed requests and needs for various items. As a result, we decided that we will only be collecting items for three Mission Central kits in 2024, which will allow us to most effectively meet current needs. The three kits on which we are focusing in 2024 are:



1. Mission Central Care Kit
2. Mission Central Blessing Kit
3. Mission Central Activity Kit

For more information about our kits, you can visit our website. Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Anna Harris, at [email protected] for more information. Thank you!

Spring Cleaning

Do you have a passion for cleaning? Do you find satisfaction in a spotless stove and streak-free windows?

Mission Central is seeking cleaning assistance, so if this sounds like you, we would love to speak with you!

Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Anna Harris, at [email protected] for more information. Thank you!

Urgent Needs

Currently, the following items are urgently needed:

• Clothing - all sizes and all seasons

**Please be mindful of the condition of donated clothing. We cannot use items with holes, large stains, and significant wear and tear.**

• Bags for our Activity Kits. The pattern for the bags is located on pages 3 and 4 of our Activity Kit instructions.

Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Anna Harris, at [email protected] for more information. Thank you!

Seeking Shoes with "Life Left in Their Soles"

Do you have shoes in your closet that are still good but no longer meet your needs? We would love to take them off your hands! We work with an organization that uses those shoes to become an economic lifeline for individuals and families living in developing nations. These individuals and families create micro-businesses, helping them learn to be sustainable and putting much needed resources into their communities.

Please consider bringing your shoes with "life left in their soles" to Mission Central!

Please contact [email protected] for more information. Thank you!

2024 Donation Collection Calendar

We have updated our 2024 collection calendar. It is located below. To make purchasing easier, we have added these items to our Amazon wish list as well. Please note that, while this calendar has been created to guide those who want to do a larger formal collection effort, we accept these items at any time throughout the year. We are so appreciative of your support!

Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Anna Harris, at [email protected] for more information. Thank you!
