Fig Leaf Store
Ministry

Saturday Mornings
8:00 am -9:30am

For decades our Fig Leaf Ministry has worked tirelessly to help clothe those experiencing homelessness. Week after week volunteers help collect, clean, and organize clothing, and then, every single Saturday, our store opens giving our friends in the community a place where they can find clothing they need.
