One of the great strengths of Presbyterians is that our churches are connected to each other so we can partner in our ministries. A good example is our Clothes Closet led by Jeanne Peck. The clothing you donate at Grace is delivered to First Presbyterian in Plano to be used by their Family Clothes Closet Ministry. There, on Thursday afternoons, these and other donated clothes are sorted for the best future uses. Your donated clothes may be given to people in need at First Presbyterian’s Family Clothes Closet on Wednesdays from 10 to noon or distributed using their trailer to support Streetside Showers on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month. They may be distributed by Hope Restored Missions to their clients or provided by First Presbyterian to people seeking shelter on cold nights at the Plano Overnight Warming Station (POWS). Some donations may be picked up by Grace Bridge and resold with the benefits going to local food banks and others that cannot be reused may end up as rags sold by the Salvation Army.

If you would like to support this ministry please donate clothing at our Clothes Closet drop-off inside the west church entrance. (Men’s clothing is always needed, especially jackets, coats, and men’s casual pants with 30-36 inch waists). Or, donate money for the purchase of new underwear. (We will get your donation to First Presbyterian or you can give it to them directly).

If you feel like rolling up your sleeves to get actively involved, volunteers are always needed to sort donations or help distribute them. Please contact Bill Burnett and he will get you in touch with Ted McKown at First Presbyterian who will find a spot for you to help.
