AN UPDATED NOTE FROM THE REV. BARBI CLICK:

"We are extremely short on space so the requests for clothing donations are limited to season specific and gender neutral clothing (i.e., we never need business dress nor evening wear). There are places that serve women and children clothing needs far better than TFM is capable of doing. For large (queen or king) blankets, quilts, knitted/crocheted coverings, these are best utilized when given to St Vincent de Paul or another thrift store. Twin size thermal blankets, sleeping bags, or the emergency mylar blankets are best for TFM."

In this season of hope, help us bring warmth to our neighbors served by Trinity Episcopal Church and Food Ministry by participating on our Winter Clothing Drive. We are collecting new or clean, gently used items to share with the 1500 homeless in St. Louis this winter. Items include warm coats, sweatshirts, shoes, socks, hats, gloves, scarves, hand and foot warmers, etc... You may leave the items in the designated boxes in the narthex or Church Office. Our drive will conclude on Sunday, January 8. Thank you for your continued generosity!
