Look for our "Date at the Gate" closet that that is set-up in the Children's Worship Center area to collect items for an outreach program of APH, Inc., that provides "...each woman requesting these services with clothing, shoes, under garments, and a bag for their release. Each woman can request up to two outfits, one casual and one professional." And, the following quote is from a flyer from this organization that states"Many women released from an incarcerating facility are given the same t-shirt and sweats. Unfortunately this screams, I just got out and I feel shame and marginalized. It is so degrading."

Current items needed for Date at the Gate, APH, Inc.:

• Clothing
• Hygiene items, such as shampoo, conditioner, deodorant and toothpaste
• Make-up
• Socks and Gloves
• Gift Cards in the amount of $10 or $15
