Local church to give away clothes
St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Carmichaels will distribute coats and clothing to people in need who come to the church from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The church is located at 224 S. Market St. This is the sixth year for the clothing giveaway. Available items include coats, jackets, hats, scarves, gloves, sweatshirts and jeans. There are all types of children’s, women’s and men’s clothing, which is clean and ready to wear.
A press release from the church reported, “Children are constantly growing and may not fit into last year’s garments. Some folks have moved here from warmer climates and need winter clothing. Our economy has changed and is taking a bigger chunk of available funds for our necessary expenses. The clothing is available to all who come and there will be volunteers to help with the distributing.”
It added, “This is just another way for showing God’s love to his people. We want to encourage people by reminding them that God does provide for all needs.”
