Tuscarora Lutheran Parish Community Closet
The TLP Community Closet ministry aims to serve as a community clothing “bank” for residents of the Tuscarora School District and surrounding areas.
“When we decided a few years ago to join St. John’s, St. Stephen’s and St. Luke’s into a new parish (Tuscarora Lutheran Parish) one of our goals was to pool our volunteer resources. We wanted to find new ways to connect to each other. Many of our members were eager to increase our visibility and service to our communities,” explains Allison Zeger, TLP Joint Council President. “The success of My Neighbor’s Bounty in Mercersburg gave us the idea to create something similar, but with clothing. We hope our neighbors will use this resource to help them through hard times and then pay it forward.”
The closet will be open to the public in the St. John’s Evangelical Basement, 8 Linden Avenue, Mercersburg: Friday, May 30 from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and Saturday, May 31 from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
More dates are being planned for August, November and February. If you are interested in volunteering or donating clothes for future dates, please email Allison Zeger at allison@graphic-response.com.
