First Teen Clothes Closet
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be opened to you.”
The middle school and high school youth at First Lutheran organize a clothes closet for teenage youth in the area. They accept, sort, and organize clothes. Adult volunteers are on hand to help out parents/youth who are in need of items. If you know of anyone who could use some assistance please let us know.
