“You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.”
-Deuteronomy 15:11
As we put our faith into action, we realize the importance of sharing what we have with our neighbors in need. The Emergency Aid Coalition (EAC) has seen an increase in the need for clothing, especially coats and other cold weather items as we approach fall and winter. In 2022, the EAC assisted 2,141 families by distributing 67,788 items of clothing.
Throughout the month of September, you can donate clean, gently loved or new clothes and shoes for men, women, and children to the EAC. Clean bedding, towels, and washcloths are also welcome. Drop off items next to the welcome table on Sundays in the Plaza or during the week at the entrances of the Sanctuary Building and Jones Building.
