A benefit auction, led by auctioneer Dean Totton, will be held July 9 at noon (rain date July 23) at Ivy's Clothing Closet, 6101 State Route 247. The auction is to benefit the clothing closet, a service of New Life Ministries.
New Life Ministries took over the responsibility of free clothing distribution from Samaritan Outreach. Currently, the ministry's clothes are housed in a garage, a box truck and a camper, and organizers are hoping to raise enough money to build a storage and distribution facility.
"We are desperate for a building," organizer Kathy Davis said.
Quilts, afghans, cakes, pies, homemade items and many other items will be available for purchase at the auction. Anyone interested in providing non-clothing donations for the auction is encouraged to call Davis at (937) 579-4700 or the Clothing Closet at (937) 393-2429.
Ivy's Clothing Closet is open 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. daily. Food items are distributed at 2 p.m. Fridays in a separate shelter house on the church's property off route 247 south of town.
"We want everyone to feel safe, clothed and fed," Davis said. "We're trying to meet the needs of the community, physical and spiritual."[[In-content Ad]]
