every Wednesday starts with prayer

In a neighborhood where most people do not have transportation or a washer and dryer and the average household income is under $15,000 “The Clothing Closet” provides more than just clothes.

Robin has been serving this population for over 9 years,

Nine years ago Robin had a vision of providing clothing to the people of the 04, the poorest zip code in the state. Since then she has volunteered 100s of hours to see CC become a reality.

What she did not know then is that she would quickly fall in love with the people that she was serving.

Robins dream of neighborhood women working along side her is  coming true.

You see Robin knows what its like to be hurting and lost. Clothing is not all she wanted to provide, she wanted to provide HOPE.

sometimes a listening ear is the best gift you can give.

Her vision is that CC  be a gateway to relationships That will lead to people finding hope in Jesus. And if you spend any time here you will see that her vision is becoming a reality!

She LOVES the people she serves with!

Robin says that the hardest part of her job is Being the manager of CC while maintaining an atmosphere of friendship, growth and learning with the people she is working with. It is hard to balance logistics with relationship!

sometimes it can be overwhelming

She misses the days when she was the one that got to pray with people, now she has a team of women who do this while she makes sure everything is running smoothly. Just organizing the clothes is an overwhelming task some days.

For Robin it’s not about the clothes, it’s about the bridges being built. Her prayer is that the people she meets on Wed. will walk through the doors of That Neighborhood Church on Saturday night and hear the hope that only Jesus can give.

This is the biggest work being done at CC

  1. All glory to God, but I must make a correction, this vision belonged to Debbie Carpenter and I was blessed to help make it happen!
