BLAINE, Wash. – Come Monday, Blaine’s Community Assistance Program clothing bank will open in a new location.
The Northern Light reports Freedom Community Church donated the 4,000-square-foot church at 508 G Street to the non-profit last fall.
The new clothing bank, where people can pick up to four adult items and 10 children’s items per week, is more than double the size of its former location next to the Blaine Food Bank.
The new location will maintain the same hours as the food bank, from 9am to noon on Monday and Friday and Wednesday evenings from 5 to 7pm.

The Community Assistance Program, a civilian-only program that responds to mental health and behavioral calls, is set for a $15 million expansion following the approval of Phoenix s 2021-22 fiscal budget last week.
The program, run under the fire department, has sparked criticism from community members who are calling for CAP to be removed and a different independent crisis response unit to be implemented instead.
CAP has been active for decades, and according to the city of Phoenix website, is committed to providing the highest level of on-scene crisis intervention and victim assistance for our community.
The program has stayed relatively small throughout the years, and Mayor Kate Gallego said that with the increase in behavioral health calls to 911, there was a consensus to modernize behavioral health responses.
