An outreach program through a Brockville, Ont. church has received a boost thanks to a local business offering gently used clothing for those in need.
St. Johns United Church used to hold free breakfasts once a month before 2020, but the pandemic changed how they could do things, now offering bagged lunches.
The outreach committee says on average 40 to 50 people use the program, and now they have something new to offer those who visit. Boxes of clothing that may have been returned, or have slight flaws like missing buttons, are now given a second chance at life. David Dargie , outreach committee member Elaine Kennedy and Ann Faurschou at St. John's United Church in Brockville, Ont. on Saturday.
Some of the clothing being offered by the outreach program at St. John's United Church in Brockville, Ont. "We're going to take this up to the warming centre and we're going to take it to other places where both the food and the clothing can be distributed," Dargie said.
