Happy Friday!! we are open today from 8 AM till 1 PM. The door is locked at 12:45. This allows our volunteers time to shut down the store and get on with their weekend!!

Speaking of the weekend, we are going to be closed on Monday for Labor Day! If you are going to have needs that will not wait until Wednesday you need to come in while we’re open today or while we’re open tomorrow from 8 to 2. We know our Saturday schedules have been a little wonky due to making up a Saturday because we were sick one day and changing up Saturdays to accommodate different events that we have coming up but we are open tomorrow September 5 8 to 2.

What will I be doing tomorrow You may ask? I’m so glad you did ask. I will be over at Dollar tree on agency collecting supplies and donations! You know there is nothing I like more than meeting our clients and supporters out in the wild haha. So pop on into Dollar Tree and grab us a bar of deodorant or a bottle of shampoo or anything else on our little list that we will hand out and we will be so grateful for you.

It is fall and you are going to be seeing a lot of fundraisers as we prepare to raise the money we need to sustain us for the next year. We have a lot of really cool things coming up that I wish we could tell you about right now but it’s all top-secret. That’s so mysterious. I love it! I’m super goofy today so this is what you get!

Have a fabulous Friday!

Sorry for the late post this morning, but we have been busy! Open today from 8-5. 906 Broadway in West Burlington.

if anyone has a wide open room/building that they would be willing to let us use for a fundraiser in October, can you please let me know? We would need to accommodate around 100-150 people approximately. We need a big fall fundraiser and while I'm not willing to spill the beans to everyone yet on what I have brewing in my head, if you have a building you would be willing to let us borrow, I can fill you in! Bonus if it has tables and chairs :) We are thinking mid-october.

Our volunteer roster is getting filled up nicely but we can still use more!! message me, call or text if you are interested in volunteering!!

Good Morning ! We are closing out the month of August with RECORD numbers again! Our volunteers have been running laps keeping up with everything! Please thank them when you see them! We could not do what we do without these amazing people.

We are open today 8-5. 906 Broadway in West Burlington. We are open for donations as well.

We have been getting inquiries about what we need. I'm going to include a photo of what we could use the most. That is the 27 gallon black totes with yellow lids. They are $10 at Target, $7 at Ollies and I think $9 at Lowes. These are sturdy totes that stack very well on top of each other. If anyone wants to drop one of these by, we would be SO grateful!

Good morning! We are open today 906 Broadway West Burlington from 8 AM to 2 PM. The door is locked at 1:45 to allow our volunteers time to get the final clients, checked out and close up for the rest of the weekend.

Today is the last day to grab shorts and tank tops and sandals! We will be putting them all in storage. It is still unlimited amounts of shorts, tank tops, sandals, sleeveless dresses, short sleeve shirts, etc. We have three rooms full of winter clothing that we need to get put out, and we cannot do so until all of the summer clothes are gone!

Katie will be doing a live to talk about our upcoming event in October!

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, we still need a few more! We need people who have availability Mondays and Wednesdays between 10 and 3 and Fridays between 10 and 1. We have a few new volunteers starting already and we’re just looking to have as many as possible! You can stop in today and talk to Katie or myself and we can show you around and explain what we do!

We are open for donations as well.
Summer clothing still has no limit until its gone.

We would like to extend our gratitude to United Lutheran Church here in Burlington and Denmark Congregational United Church of Christ -Sawyer circle for their generous financial donations this week! We have been able to re-stock some much needed supplies.

This has been the busiest month we have had and every dollar you donate helps us to help more families!

Thank you everyone for your continued support of our organization and your love for your community.
