OPERATION FEED
The Operation Feed Clothing Distribution Center makes donated clothing available to our despensa recipient families from its location in the Viva Mexico Restaurant building in San Juan Cosala. The Center is open from 9:00 a.m. until noon on Thursdays, following the distribution of despensa packages. Despensa recipients are able to visit the center and select clothing for their family once per month.
The Clothing Distribution Center receives clothing donations from lakeside community residents and from local merchants and consignment stores. Volunteers then sort, organize, and hang donated items to make shopping convenient for despensa recipients. Each month, despensa families are able to shop for men’s, women’s and children’s clothing and shoes, and are able to select items based on the number of family members residing in their household. Volunteers are available to assist family members as they shop for clothes. Volunteers dedicate many hours of their time each week to ensure the success of the Clothing Distribution Center.
Clothing and shoe donations are always needed and gratefully accepted. Most often the greatest needs are for men’s and children’s shoes; clothing for infants and for teens; and small sizes of
men’s and women’s shirts and pants.
If you have gently-used clothing that you would like to donate to the Clothing Distribution Center, you can drop if off at the Viva Mexico Restaurant in San Juan Cosala. If you would like to help as a Clothing Center Volunteer, please contact Karen Schirack Wurzel at kschiwurz@gmail.com.
