Carolyn (pictured here) has dedicated months of hard work as the primary volunteer at our donation center. She diligently sorts through tons of clothes and trains other volunteers to thoughtfully inspect donations before they reach clients or stock the shelves of the Fayette Cares thrift shop.
Carolyn’s training sessions play a crucial role in checking for and removing clothing with stains, tears, missing or broken parts, or unsanitary conditions. This step is vital to ensure that useful apparel can be promptly provided to those in need or sold to raise funds for our services.
“Sometimes it’s a brand-new suit or blouse, but other times it’s a bag of dirty underwear and holey shirts!” remarks Carolyn. “The last thing we want to do is give someone in need clothing they have to fix or feel embarrassed to wear. The people Fayette Cares serves deserve to be treated with dignity and respect,” emphasizes Carolyn.
When you thoughtfully donate high-quality clothing and apparel to Fayette Cares, families receive a gift that uplifts and strengthens them on their path to stability. It also fills the shopping bags of those who help fund our mission by making purchases at the Fayette Cares Thrift Shop on the Square.
