The Sister Isaac Center has a wonderful problem—we are running out of storage space due to the incredible generosity of our community! While we are serving more guests than ever, the pace of donations, especially women’s clothing, has outgrown our available storage.
When this happens, our volunteers must load donations into our van and transport them to other local nonprofit organizations. In just the past week, volunteers redistributed more than 15 bags and boxes of items; it filled the back of our van! While we’re grateful to support our partner organizations, this extra step pulls volunteers away from other important work here at the Center.
As a short-term solution, we kindly ask that women’s clothing donations be limited to either two 30-gallon bags or two boxes per visit.
If you have additional items to donate, we are happy to provide a list of nearby organizations that are also accepting donations.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we work through this temporary challenge.
Additional Note on Men’s Suits:
Due to the increasingly casual nature of work attire, men’s suits are no longer in high demand. While we do occasionally provide suits for funerals, church, or similar needs, the number we distribute has significantly decreased. Please limit suit donations to two or three suits.
There are some items in high demand and short supply: blankets, comforters, bed sheets, and towels.
We truly appreciate your generosity and partnership in helping us serve our guests effectively.
Next weekend is Share Sunday. Kindly consider placing non-perishable food and/or cleaning items in the basket in the vestibule.
As ever, if you have any questions or would like a tour, please contact me.
