The Clothing Room of Living Water

For those of you who have never been to Living Water, we wanted to give you a peek inside our clothing room and tell you about that part of our ministry. We receive our clothing from our community. When people clean out their closets, we are the beneficiaries. We ask for gently-used, clean clothing that is in season. We just don't have the space to store clothing from season to season. We receive those donations Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at 103 W. 4th Street in Borger.

Zella McKinney is our clothing coordinator. She works tirelessly in our clothing room, sorting clothing into sizes and hanging it on our racks to make it easier for our clients to shop.

As you can see, our clothing room rivals any department store in town. We have about 4 volunteers that give of their time to keep it well-organized.

We have sizes from newborns to adults. We're always in need of children's clothing and men's jeans.

Our clients are allowed to shop once a month and are able to get as much as is available in the sizes for which they are shopping. Of course, in case of an emergency (such as a fire), our clothing room is available to help those in need.

And the best thing? It's all FREE!

And nothing is ever wasted or thrown away. If we can't use it, we send it to a Christian school in San Antonio who sells clothing to raise tuition for their students. And if they can't use it, they send it to Mexico. Our goal is to offer clothing that is in style and fashionable--something we would wear ourselves. I hope you've enjoyed a peek inside this ministry!
