We are so grateful for the generous donations supporting our Social Services program and Clothing Closet. Your kindness helps our community every day. ❤️

To help us keep donations organized and usable, please remember:

👕 The textile trailer is for clothing and shoe donations only.

🧸 Small donations of household items and children’s items must be brought inside the building — not left in the trailer — we use our discretion excepting these items and only if they are in good condition.

Our Swap Shed at the transfer station is available for these and other like items.

🥫 Food donations may be brought directly into the building or placed in the wooden donation box by the door. Please make sure all food items are unopened and not expired.

Thank you for helping us serve our community with care and respect!

Huge, heartfelt thanks to Rosa Farm for dropping off the most delicious sourdough goodies 🥖✨

There’s something about fresh bread that just brings people together. It’s warmth, it’s care, it’s a reminder that someone out there is tending, baking, and sharing with love. And today, that love showed up in every crusty loaf and soft, tangy bite.

Moments like this remind us that community isn’t just a word — it’s action. It’s generosity. It’s neighbors showing up for neighbors in the sweetest (and tastiest) ways.

We’re so grateful. Truly. 💕
