Mary and Gail’s Clothing Closet Opens at Mt. Nebo
Sojourner’s Truth Staff
Pastor Cedric Brock and
First Lady Debra Brock received a little help this past
Sunday from Toni Pace, director of Family House, as they
opened Mary and Gail’s Clothing Closet on the second floor
of the church.
The new clothing closet,
which was built with the help of renovation funds from the
Toledo Rotary Club and will be managed by First Lady Brock,
has been named for Mary Caldwell Simmons and Gail Brown, two
members of the Mt Nebo Baptist Church congregation who
passed in 2020. Caldwell Simmons was a 50-year member of the
congregation.
The clothing assembled by
the church is a result of donations from Macy’s, New York
and Company, the Rotary Club and various community
donations.
The clothing is earmarked
for community shelters. The church will play an active role
in picking up residents of the shelter and bringing them to
the church and the Closet to select appropriate clothing.
