A warm coat, a nicer outfit for a job interview or other essentials are needed by Missouri s homeless population.
With the goal of clothing the homeless in mind, MERS Goodwill is donating $75,000 in vouchers to 29 homeless shelters in Missouri and Illinois.
Four of these shelters are in Columbia: Presbyterian Children s Transitional Housing, Welcome Home Inc. serving veterans, True North serving victims of domestic violence and abuse, and Rainbow House s children s emergency shelter.
Shelters supported by MERS Goodwill will receive two vouchers per bed in each of the facilities. This covers about $45,000 of the planned $75,000 of support. Shelters that need additional vouchers can request them.

ALTON Oasis Women’s Center has been selected to hand out shopping vouchers from MERS Missouri Goodwill Industries.
Each voucher to shop at any Goodwill store is worth $20. Oasis Women’s Center will receive two vouchers initially.
“We took a look at each shelter of 29 total and whatever their capacity is, and gave them two vouchers,” said MERS Goodwill’s David Kutchback, president and chief executive officer. “We’re sending about $45,000 in vouchers to those shelters.
“If a shelter needs more, then they can call us, and we’ll continue to send out vouchers until we reach that $75,000,” he said. “We want to partner with that shelter to ID what their particular need is, and as they continue to get back with us, we’ll continue to meet the individual needs of those they serve.”
