A Man with a Mission

Sean Rhodes is a man with a mission to help others. Sean works at USCIS-Department of Homeland Security, our neighbor down the road. Last year he contacted Open Door Mission to do a “Winter Gear” drive and a food drive. Both were a success, but Sean decided to do more. He maintains a “year round” collection box for various needs at Open Door Mission. Today he brought in 85 pounds of food, 40 pounds of clothing and 24 pounds of shoes. Sean shared that on weekends he goes around to neighborhood garage sales and lets them know if they don’t know what to do with their leftover items he will gladly pick them for Open Door Mission. What a great idea, what a great mission to help others-thanks Sean.

So what are you going to do with your “leftover” garage sale items? Consider donating gently used “leftover” clothing, furniture, housewares, toys and working appliances (big & small) to Open Door Mission’s Timberlake Outreach Center. There they will have a good second life helping others in our community. Remember what you don’t need any longer may be just what someone else does need.
