Resale Shop
The shop provides a low-cost source for clothing, furniture, and household items for the community and, in part, funds MAM’s programs and services. Donations are welcomed at the Resale Shop Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. ~ 6:00 p.m., and Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. ~ 5:00 p.m..
For the convenience of MDUMC members, only gently-used clothing is accepted at the church and transported to MAM by volunteers. To volunteer to help transport MDUMC donations to MAM, contact Kristy Elmore at 713/468-8356 ext. 113 or kristyelmore@mdumc.org.
