OUR FIRST PRIORITY WITH THE CLOTHING DONATIONS IS TO FILL THE CLOTHING ROOMS TO HELP PEOPLE IN NEED RIGHT AWAY. AFTER OUR CLOTHING ROOMS ARE FILLED, WE PROVIDE PRODUCT TO OUR THRIFT STORE, WHERE THE REVENUE WILL SUPPORT THE PROGRAMS OF CITY MISSION. FINALLY, ITEMS NOT NEEDED FOR THE TWO PURPOSES ABOVE ARE BALED AND RECYCLED. BY UTILIZING THESE OPTIONS, WE'RE ABLE TO MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT OF THE CLOTHING DONATIONS. THIS ENTIRE PROCESS PROVIDES JOB SKILL TRAINING FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND REVENUE TO HELP SUPPORT THE MINISTRIES OF CITY MISSION.
