The Adventist Community Services provides clothing, shoes, linens, kitchen items, and small appliances to members of the Midland, Michigan community.  These items are provided at no charge to individuals or families in need.  Many of our clients are referrals from the Shelterhouse, FIA, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Midland Area Homes, Crisis Pregnancy Services, 1016 House, Center for Independent Living,  Council on Aging, Community Mental Health and local churches.  If you have a need or would like more information please call us at (989) 835-3675.

Client hours at the Center are Mondays, 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.  Call (989) 835-3675 for an appointment.

Excess clothing and other donated items which cannot be used in Midland County are not sold.  Instead they are donated to the Adventist Development and Relief Agency for free distribution worldwide.

Generous donations of clothing and household items from the people of Midland have enabled us to help the those in need in Midland County in 2004 as follows:
 

•  In addition 3,719 boxes of clothing were packed for distribution worldwide by the Adventist Development and Relief Agency.
  

•  Our 36 volunteers donated 3,069 hours in 2004.

Without the support of the Midland community, we would soon have to close our doors.  We greatly appreciate our donors.  You can help us even more by indicating sizes on bedding and curtains, discarding all soiled or damaged goods before you bring them to us, and removing garage sale price tags.  This will save much time for our volunteers.  Thank you for your help!

These items are accepted for free distribution to those in need in Midland County.  Donations are accepted on Mondays, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
