Your Rags Can Help the Mission!
Please donate your rags and soiled or damaged clothing to Clarksburg Mission’s
recycling program. Proceeds from the program are used for general maintenance
of our buildings.
“It took a while to get where we are now, but we are up and running .
We expect to see more success than ever, and even double our output each month.
It would be helpful if people in our area would save and donate damaged clothing
or rags to our recycle program. We are fortunate to have a board with vision
to take the Clarksburg Mission ministry to new levels.”

Clarksburg Mission Board Member
