Help Support Clothesline Ministry


OPPC’s Clothesline Ministry provides clothing to at-risk Carmel Clay Elementary and Middle School students. The Clothesline Ministry expanded its reach in 2023 to include all Carmel Clay Elementary and Middle Schools. So far the Clothesline Ministry has filled 29 requests for clothing since the beginning of the fall 2023 school year. To fill more requests, we need your help. Please bring new and gently used clothing appropriate for elementary and middle school students and fill up the grocery cart on Main Street. Clothing items needed include pants, shorts, long sleeve & short sleeve shirts, along with new socks and underwear. We will collect donations through the end of October. According to Cradles to Crayons, "lack of clothing" accounts for 3 of the top 10 reasons kids miss schools. And 2 in 5 American kids are unable to adequately dress themselves every day. Carmel is no exception. OPPC is here to help those in need with your generous contributions. School social workers, teachers, at-risk students, and parents struggling to make ends meet thank you.

OPPC has many mission opportunities throughout the year both local and world wide. If you would like to learn more about those opportunities click here to read the Mission Spotlights.
