The Clothes 4 U ministry of the First United Methodist Church, 200 State Street, Belle Vernon, will be open to the public on Tuesday, September 20 and September 27 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
Located in the basement of the First United Methodist Church in Belle Vernon, the Clothes 4 U ministry serves communities throughout the entire Mon Valley. It is staffed by dedicated volunteers from the community who give freely of their time and energy to serve others. They accept any useful gently used clothing items. They have been in existence for over 8 years and are strictly ‘donation in’ and ‘donation out’ and do not charge for clothing. They are open to anyone in need that comes. If they do receive a donation it goes into a fund to help others.
The ministry is normally open the second and fourth Tuesday of every month from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon with few exceptions . The ministry had to be shut down temporarily due to water damage to the building and the repairs that followed.
Clothes 4 U ministry has clothing from size children 4 through adult plus sizes. They also have shoes and purses available. The church can be called if there is an urgent need. Their clothing ministry works in conjunction with a Belle Vernon area ministerium that supports ‘Little Things for Little People’ organization. They supply infant through size 3 clothing and supplies and are open on the same days, and are also located in the church basement also. The church can be contacted at 724-929-4696.
