University UMC’s Fig Leaf Store, operated on the fourth floor, offers donated clothing and housewares to those in need from 9:30 a.m-11:00 a.m on Saturdays.
Fig Leaf is currently in need of men’s clothing, people to lead clothes drives, volunteers to work in the store and volunteers to sort clothes in the store.
Last Saturday, Fig Leaf served 139 people. If you are looking for a rewarding way to help serve your community, then get involved this month.
Emily Roe, who works with volunteers from the church, says: ”Being an active part of the church’s effort to care for others stirs the spirit within us. Fig Leaf volunteers have a sense of God’s purpose and of being a part of something bigger than oneself. The opportunity to serve those in need and support fellow church members in what can be a challenging work situation, precisely fits our calling to be the church.”
