We Need Your Help. Give Warmth to Those in Need This Winter
Recovering from mental illness is challenging enough without the added burden of meeting basic needs like food, housing, and warm clothing.
Many of our clients have only damaged, ill-fitting coats — if they have one at all — and some have even arrived at our doors without shoes on cold winter days.
You can help ensure every McClendon Center client stays safe and focused on their recovery this winter.
By donating new or gently used winter clothes, shoes, and accessories, you’ll help protect our clients from the cold — and give them warmth, dignity, and hope.
