Founder’s Day at
Gilbert-Lambuth Chapel, Paine
College. The guest speaker was
The Community
Clothing Center
J*
(L) Mrs. Ward Claussen, second Vice President
(center) Mrs. George Williamson, Chairman of
Volunteers, (R) Mrs. Jacob A. William, President.
The Community Clothing
Center located at 1854 Broad
Street. Started by the Deanery
Council of Catholic Women in
September of 1967. The
Center was first located at
Immaculate Conception
Church. Later, it was moved to
Sacred Heart Catholic Church
and then to Telfair Street.
Later the Center was housed at
132 Fifth Street.
When the Deanery Council
first opened the Center, its
object was to provide good
clothes for underprivileged
families at a nominal fee. Such
undertaking by one group is a
large order.
Council members decided
that it was more than they
could handle alone, and
approached Church Women of
Walton Way Temple who
joined in the endeavor. While
these are the sponsoring
organizations, any woman who
would like to help is welcomed
as a volunteer.
The women who work with
the Center have a common
interest - that of building a
better community regardless of
color or creed. “We work side
by side, Black and white, and
we serve both Black and white.
It is a community effort to do
what we can to see that no
children or adults are
inadequately clothed,”
commented Mrs. Lucy
Williams, president.
The center is a non-profit
organization. The Center’s
purpose is to make available to
the underprivileged good
clothing at prices they can
afford, rather than making
them feel that they are
accepting charity.
All customers must be
referred by one of the agencies
using the center’s services.
These include the public
schools, the Department of
Family and Children’s Services,
Neighborhood Centers, Vista,
the Vocational Rehabilitation
Center, Community Service
Center, Juvenile Court, Red
Cross, Paine College, the Blind
Institute, Work Incentive
Program, the Regional
Hospital, Main Stream and the
Veterans Administration
Hospitals. Referrals by
the charming Soror Mabel
Abams, Employee Department
of Immigration, Detroit,
Michigan, Supreme Basileus of
Tau Gamma Delta Sorority.
Facing the challenge of
change was the theme. Others
appearing on the program were
Sorors Emma M. Seay,
Margaret Beard, Barbara
Coleman, Annie Blount,
Cardelia Gunter, Annie M.
Searles, and Gladys Biggers,
Basileus, Kappa Chapter.
Greetings were brought by
Soror Agnees Fisher, Chairman
Supreme Directorate, Founder.
A.R. Johnson Jr. High
School furnished music for the
occasion.
Soror Millie Parker was
presented a plaque by Soror
Cardelia Gunter for her
unselfish service rendered to
Kappa Chapter during the
establishment of the first
Undergraduate Chapter on
Paine College Campus. Soror
Parker is employed as Librarian
at Paine College.
Soror Magnolia Donahue
served as Chairman of the
Program.
Immediately following
Founder’s Day Observance of
Kappa Chapter members of
Tau Gamma Delta Sorority
Clergymen also are accepted.
The referring agencies
present deserving individuals
with cards, which are presented
at the Center. If the card is
marked “Free” this indicates
an emergency case, such as a
family that has been burned
out of its home. In such cases,
clothing is provided at no
charge. Other cases require a
small price starting as low as
(5) cent for some items.
We offer only good clothes.
Some of the clothing is new.
Children’s cloths are scarce, so
we must buy shirts, jackets,
socks, pants and underware,”
Mrs. Williams said.
Money used to buy such
items is from church groups
and interested individuals, just
as the funds for the renovation
of the present building. The
Center manages to keep going
by such contributions and the
work of volunteers.
“We are greatly appreciative
to the individuals,
organizations and churches for
the contributions you have
made to the Center.”
Records indicate that + here
were more than 5,000 persons
served during the year of 1972.
“Many of the children
served were unable to attend
school because of a lack of
clothing. It is a deep sense of
joy to know there are people
who have been made to feel
that we care about the
underprivileged of our
community, and know there
are those who are working
together with respect to each
other and customers that gives
one a sense of dignity and
pride.
All that has been
accomplished has been done on
a volunteer basis.
The past presidents and
workers have labored under
difficult conditions to achieve
present goals. Mrs. A.J. Fogel
and her husband have given
their best to make the present
location a pleasant place to
work and serve our customers.
The Center is opened for
selling from 10:00 A.M. until
1:00 P.M. each Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday.
Sorting, arranging and receiving
clothing Monday, Wednesday
and Friday at the same time.
Inc. and many of their friends
