Our Mission

The Community Caring Closet is a non-profit ministry whose mission in Saginaw County is to collect and distribute slightly used clothing, blankets, towels and household items to those in need in our community, along with an on-going food pantry, community garden, and lunch program. Making a spiritual connection by sharing the love of Christ is a primary goal of our mission.

Give a Little Help a Lot

Our vision is based on 1 John 3:17: ”If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?”
Donations are always welcome and are tax-deductible. Give financially by clicking "Donate Now" or mailing a check to "The Caring Closet," 6045 Mackinaw, Saginaw, MI 48604.

Learning Garden

Ways to help: 

  1. Help us plant the garden—2 planting days in May.

  2. Take care of a raised bed of vegetables throughout the summer by weeding and watering plants.

  3. Pick vegetables when they’re ready—maybe on the Fridays each month before the Saturday that the Caring Closet is open.

  4. Pray that God will honor our efforts.
