Room In The Inn Collection
Help us collect new and gently-used men’s clothing for our Room In The Inn guests. We are collecting men’s coats (especially larger sizes), jeans, heavy hooded sweatshirts, and flannel shirts. You can drop these items in the red bins around the church. Thank you for loving your neighbor!
I want to serve...
