T., this may not apply to you but I wanted to let you know about it and you can feel free to pass it along to someone you know who is in need.
Speaking of Duncanville, I too live there and attend
church at First Baptist Duncanville. We have a Clothes Closet to help lower income families (or anyone in need) be able to select 4 items of clothing per child. These are new and gently used, clean, mended dress code appropriate clothes.
The dates this year are Sat. Aug. 9 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and if there are still items left to donate, on Monday, Aug. 11 from 10:00 am to noon and from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Should anyone want to make a monetary donation to our Clothes Store, the church will gladly take it. Just contact the church from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Mon-Fri. The donations are used to buy items to fill in the gaps for what was donated. We noticed a larger need for the smaller sizes however, we know that there are ALL sizes of students and have also stocked some of the 1X, 2X and 3X sizes. We supplied clothes to over 800 children last year and you know the numbers will increase this year due to higher costs of gas, food, clothing, etc.
Should anyone want to donate clothes, the colors are solid navy and white shirts and navy and khaki pants for 9th grade and above, and for 8th grade and below, black, gray, navy and white tops, and black, gray, navy and khaki pants. Shirts have to be collared and can have no logos. Feel free to email me privately if you have some clothes to donate and I'll see what I can do about getting them from you.
