Thanks to our very generous sellers who choose to donate their unsold items, we are able to help Homeward Bound and Catholic Outreach with essentials their clients need twice each year. 

Homeward Bound serves families in the local community with goods and services to help them through rough spots. They have been serving here in our area since 1998. Both culturally and programmatically, the organization’s Housing First (i.e., shelter is the primary priority) – Low Barrier approach focuses less on emergency housing, instead committing to readily-accessible services that ultimately lead willing individuals/families to permanent housing and community reintegration.

Grand Valley Catholic Outreach began more than 40 years ago when two Franciscan sisters offered bag lunches to the homeless and hungry from their back door. Recognizing one’s right to food, clothing, and shelter, the valley’s four Catholic parishes formally established Grand Valley Catholic Outreach in 1988. Today, with the support from interfaith and civic communities, the organization offers resources along with respect, dignity, and hope to those in distress.

Their Clothing Bank provides clothing, shoes, bedding, household items, and books for men, women and children, donated by the local community, are available at the Clothing Bank to all in need.
