We also try to keep food pantry items, personal hygiene products, and cleaning supplies in stock as well, although they are given out on a first come, first serve basis. We love being able to give back to our community, and it's a pleasure to serve you. Ways you can contribute
1. A great way to get involved is by participating in one of our seasonal clothing drives held on Wednesday nights durin
g our open hours of 5-6:30 pm. The next one will be held in the fall/winter so keep an eye out on our page! Keep in mind, all clothing must be stain, rip, and smoke-free so please check your donations beforehand. We kindly ask that you do not drop donations off outside of our building. They must be dropped off during our open hours. You can arrange alternative drop off times by contacting 618-344-1000.

Anything purchased through our Amazon list will be directly shipped to the center, and if you keep proof of your purchase, it can be a tax deduction since we are a nonprofit organization.
