Clothing Center
Open Tuesdays (9am - 5pm) and Saturdays (9am - noon)
We process donated clothing and resell it at the clothing center building located directly across from the church rectory. Extra clothing is sent to Love, Inc in Burlington. This community clothing center is an outreach of Helping Hands and is run entirely of volunteers. Please consider shopping, helping out or donating your gently used clothing items! A donation drop bin is available outside the building 24/7.
Bag Days: Bag days are always on the first Saturday and Tuesday of the month. No need to bring a bag, paper bags are at the door. Fill it for only $3. We tend to receive lots of high quality name brand clothing, so this is quite the deal!
Proceeds from clothing center purchases fund the Helping Hands program to help those in need. We raise about $725 or more per month to help about 50 families per week.
You should come check us out!

Did you know? The Clothing Center was originally a school!
In 1888, a piece of land across the street from the church was purchased and a school was built at a cost of $4000 (around $118,000 today). Sisters from St. Francis taught at the school but due to lack of enrollment and transportation problems, the school closed only eight years later. Transportation problems didn’t mean school buses needed new tires – farming families had a hard time getting their students to school in the morning especially when morning chores like feeding their livestock were a priority. Notice the cross impression made with bricks. These areas are now windows.
