(SRD) Great Community Give - Mission Central
The ninth annual Great Community Give is a one-day event that promotes charitable giving to 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations located in and serving Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. The Children's Clothes Closet - Mission Central Inc. is excited to be participating in the Great Community Give for our third consecutive year! In 2025, we served 1689 children from 735 families (200 of which were new to our organization) and distributed 120,950 disposable diapers and 35,692 individual pairs of new socks and underwear. We are so grateful for the generous support we received during the Great Community Give and throughout the year!
We recognize this is a busy time of year for fundraising events but humbly ask that you keep us in mind during this year's Great Community Give. Funds raised will help us to continue to meet the increasing demand for diapers, new underwear/socks, clothing, and baby equipment. If you choose to make an online donation on April 22, the day of the Great Community Give, we encourage you to do so during the Brunch Bunch Power Hour from 11 AM to 12 PM EST. The small organization raising the most money during that time will be rewarded an additional monetary prize! (Please note that online donations are subject to platform and credit card processing fees, but you are not obligated to cover those charges.)
If you prefer to make a cash or check donation, please send that directly to the Children's Clothes Closet - Mission Central, P.O. Box 2026 Harrisonburg, VA 22801 during early giving which runs from April 7 to April 21, 2026. Please write in the Memo "GCG 2026".
Registered non-profit, 501 (c) 3 organizations. The Children's Clothes Closet - Mission Central, Inc. serves families in need within our local community and throughout the Shenandoah River District of the Virginia UMC Conference.
