Mission: Our vision is that no person within our service area lacks the clothing needed to be employed, to maintain a healthy and hygienic life, and to be socially accepted. To that end, One Small Step provides free clothing and household linens to people in need, and builds lasting relationships with clients, characterized by love, trust, and respect.
Results: In 2012, 1,590 families were helped with free clothing and linens, an increase of 60% over the prior year. Approximately 35 volunteers cheerfully provide all the services in a clean, contemporary, uplifting environment. Individual donations pay for underwear, children's shoes, work boots, and the facility expenses.
