HUGE NEED for men’s tee shirts and pants/jeans! (And will soon need hoodies!). See below for drop off!

The Mission is now accepting fall and winter clothing (along with summer clothing). In addition, we are in desperate need of Men's t-shirts (all sizes, but we are out of all shirts in a 3x or larger), and Men's Jeans/Pants (we are completely out of men's jeans/pants, including shorts in waist sizes 30-36).

All donations of gently used and clean, men's and women's clothing in all sizes is greatly appreciated. The Mission serves an average of 175 people each day.

Donations may be dropped off at 408 N. 4th Street, Springfield. The donation drop off area is located at the rear of the Mission. Donations are accepted 7:30 am - 4:00 pm, Monday - Friday.

Great explanation of SNAP benefits and how micropantries are so important in helping community members in need.

Springfield food pantries are struggling to meet demand as new federal SNAP rules cut benefits for many local residents.
