As the coordinator of the Caring Closet of Mitchell, Jodi Reiners mostly works behind the scenes, sorting and organizing donations and generally taking the head leadership role in the group.
But she has, on occasion, seen the emotional impact the program can have on those who rely on it.
“At first they’re a little shy because they feel a little self-conscious about it,” Reiners said in a recent interview with the Mitchell Republic. “But it is very heartwarming. You can see how much they appreciate it.”
