We rely on volunteers, donations and donated items to help as we continue to serve our community and residents. Check out each section and learn how your kindness can make a difference!

After you've finished cleaning out your closets, we are happy to take that extra clothing off of your hands! We accept clothing and shoes for men, women and children. We also accept jewelry, outerwear, ties, purses, and other clothing accessories.
Gather a group of friends or loved ones, spread the word, and benefit the men, women and children in need that come to City Mission each day. The organization of a drive or collection with your group will help transform lives!
