Clothing Giveaway at Emancipation Station



Emancipation Station, a day shelter for women, opened it's doors to the public Friday and Saturday to give away used and donated clothing. Men, women and children were able to receive many items they need. With temperatures dropping below freezing this weekend, the giveaway was a necessary event for many.

Recognizing the needs of the homeless, Pastor Alice Piggee-Wallack, founder of True Light Family Resource Center and Emancipation Station, with the help of volunteer, Hector Ponce, organized and provided the clothing giveaway. Mr. Ponce has been donating his time weekly categorizing donations in the clothing closet so that women may find their sizes easily and quickly in times of crisis. For more information about how you can get involved with helping the homeless contact Emancipation Station at 719 E 31st St, Kansas City, MO 64109 or call 816-561-1700 for more information.
