Editor’s Note: The following was submitted by First Baptist Church of Westwood.
First Baptist Church of Westwood recently announced that the used clothing donation shed located in its parking lot is once again open. Pastor Stephanie Salinas suggests that if you’ve been cleaning out your closets and drawers while you’ve been at home week after week, now is the perfect time to get those things out of your home and into the hands of people who truly need them.
The used clothing shed is provided and maintained by St. Pauly Textile Inc. The company was forced to temporarily close the shed several months ago because of the global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and are pleased to again offer a clean, well-maintained location where the community may make donations.
