Lines of cars dropping off items for people here at year’s-end. Your generosity makes a difference!

The after Christmas clean up in many homes has started, as families have time to go through closets, or as new gifts take the place of the old. Instead of throwing out things not useful at home anymore, our community generously thinks of others, and how clothes, furniture, computers, and so much more, can be given to someone in need.

We love your heart, and we are so blessed as you drive through with donations.  It isn’t just that you bring gifts to those in need, but that you do it with such enthusiasm and joy.  Your investments here truly make a difference in the lives of real people.  You especially encourage us.  Thank you for your faithful generosity, and for your encouragement.

As you come in, we have extra volunteers outside, so that you can drive through as quickly as possible.  Be patient, where you can, because many people at year’s end find there way to us to make their last minute, much-appreciated donations. We will also have people outside to write receipts in these days before the new year, so that you will not have to get out and go inside to get the receipt, as you typically would.

We say constantly that we can be here, because we live and work in a community that long ago learned the blessing of giving.  Remember, when you give it, we give it away.  We don’t sell anything at Mission Arlington, and every service is provided free of charge.

Our front room has been full this week with people in need.  Thank you for the way you give, pray, and support our work with finances, so that more lives can be lifted in love.

We are ever grateful for you. We can’t wait to see you!
