| Clothing Store |
 |
Good used clothes are sold in our clothing ministry at 3-pieces-for-$1 or 50-cents-each. We also carry bedding, household items, shoes, accessories and so much more! Most of the people who come to us do not want a hand-out. Our prices are low enough to allow anyone to be able to afford clothing and at the same time give a sense of ownership.

Misc. |
There are services we can provide for our clients that may not be listed above. Since we are not a governmental organization we are not bound by strict, rigid guidelines. We can bend the rules, which are our own, to meet needs. Examples of services we have provided that would fall under miscellaneous would be: Texas driver's license fee, Texas ID fee, bike repair for a transient, birth certificates. We try to be flexible within our means because we never know when we "may be entertaining angels unaware".
