DeKalb West School Junior Beta students donated their time Saturday (January 25) to the Hope Center in Smithville.
Caitlin Shoemake, Caroline Crook, Emily Young, Jordyn Turbeville, Grant Buterbaugh, and Caleb Lawson got up early when many a teen or tween would still be in bed and sorted through numerous bags of clothes for the center. The Beta students helped divide through the donated items for others to have clothes to use.
Through the Hope Center ministry, the network of Southern Baptist Churches, supply clothing, used appliances, furniture, toys, and some household items to families or individuals in need.
The Hope Center is open Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. until Noon and receives donations on Thursdays from 9 a.m. until noon.
