The P.I.N. (People In Need) Bank was started because we saw a need. We were visiting children in their homes as part of the Kidz Alive program, and noticing that some of them had no beds, while others ate of old noodle cups because they had no dishes. The approximate cost to establish a household for one person is about $2000.00, not including food or furniture.

When people leave the hotels, Parkside Home, the jail, or maybe move here, the challenge to re-establish a life is hard. The P.I.N. Bank is there to help with furniture, food, and household goods like bedding, lamps, dishes, and the like.

We are always looking for non-perishable food items, and good used items of clothing and furniture. We need jeans, hoodies, socks, runners, bed (especially mattresses), dressers and dining room sets.

For people who live on the street, we offer clothing once a week, warm sweaters, coats, socks, shoes, mitts, and hats. Whatever the need, we try to meet it. We truly believe that we should never express God’s love empty handed.
