What a wonderful surprise last week when we received 590 pairs of gently used blue jeans for our Ministry to the Homeless. This was the result of a denim drive that KSLX organized with the Phoenix Coyotes.
We always need blue jeans – especially men’s jeans in sizes 30, 32 and 34. You see, every weekday morning, we help 100 or so people in our Ministry to the Homeless on our main Watkins Road campus. Most of them are men. They receive a little something to eat and then visit with a volunteer case manager to see what kind of help they might need. Sometimes it’s a job referral, or help with transportation to a job, or work boots. We also provide showers and clean clothes.
That’s where the blue jeans come in. Jeans are the most requested clothing item. So these 590 pair of blue jeans are a most welcomed gift. Thank you to KSLX and to the Phoenix Coyotes for making this happen. And to everyone who donated their blue jeans.
