Our Helping Hands Community Store closed its doors on June 30 due to a lack in funding.  We are disappointed that we cannot continue to operate this valuable service.  Since this store opened in 2005, we provided 682 people with individualized on-the-job training and workplace skills that helped at least 128 people to move directly on to regular employment.  We also had 89,781 visits from low-income people to obtain free clothing and household items.  If you are in need of free clothing, or if you’d like to donate your clothes to another location, please click here for a list of other clothing donation locations.  We would like to thank everyone who supported this program over the years!!!!
