A big thank you to our friends at @aldersgatedurham!

Aldersgate recently hosted their “Undie (+ Backpacks!) Sunday,” a mission drive for our unsheltered neighbors. The congregation collected 58 backpacks and over 500 pairs of men’s underwear for us to distribute. Think about it for a minute: if you didn’t have a place to store your belongings, where would you put them all day? Where would they be safe? For our neighbors living outside, a good backpack isn’t a convenience. It’s how they keep their documents, medications, clothes, and everything else they own close and protected. Clean underwear is one of the things people rarely think to donate, and one of the things our neighbors need most. 500 pairs will go a long way. Thank you, Aldersgate family, for your witness and hospitality in caring for our community!
