The Figleaf Boutique is a clothing ministry designed to assist those who are facing challenging times. They offer new or gently used clothing free to the shopper. This is our way to say we care, relieving some of the financial burdens many are facing.
New shoppers fill out a registration sheet and are entered into the computers data base. Then each family member has the opportunity to chose 10 items per visit.. Boots, shoes, belts, purses and scarves are often available and are limited are 2 per person. Shoppers are welcome to visit our store once every 3 months.
Figleaf is a non-profit organization with no paid staff. Mishawaka First has volunteers that are invested in making connections and building community through this clothing ministry. The building is rented, utilities are paid for, and cleaning supplies etc. are purchased all by the generous donation of others.
You too can be part of a vital, giving ministry by donating financially on the above egiving linl (start by creating a profile), by bringing your gently used clothing on Wednesdays from 10-12 or by serving with your hands and feet being Christ along side of others. Volunteers help bag selected clothing, sort and hang donated clothes, or spend time in prayer with shoppers if they are willing. Mishawaka First United Methodist Church prayer shawls are also available for those who would like one.
