There are lots of ways to help with our ministry of providing showers and clothing for the homeless – by volunteering, donating needed items, or making a financial contribution. See details below.
Donation Items needed:
New or gently used clothing – shirts, pants, shorts, belts, shoes, underwear, socks. In the winter we also distribute jackets, hats, coats and gloves.
Toiletries (preferably small or travel sized) – deodorant, hand lotion, chap stick, mouthwash, wet wipes, razors, toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, nail files.
Miscellaneous (new or used) – backpacks, shopping bags, small tents.
Trailer supplies – large size shampoo, conditioner, body wash or hand soap; tall kitchen trash bags, large black garbage bags, latex gloves for volunteers, Ply 1 RV toilet paper.
Financial donations to help purchase items are welcome; donations can be made by cash or check or online. Checks should be made to FFC with “shower ministry” in the memo.
Volunteer needs (these are all flexible; you can volunteer weekly, once a month, or occasionally)
Mondays: A group meets at the church from 2-4 pm to sort donated clothing and pack up supplies for the following day.
Tuesdays: More volunteers are needed to go along on Tuesdays to help with distributing clothing & toiletries and/or driving and setting up the trailer.
Laundry: Volunteers are needed each week to wash and fold the towels so that they will be ready for the following week.
If you have questions, contact the church office or Carter Powell. Thank you for helping to support this ministry.
