No More Dumping Please.

At Stratford House of Blessing, our mission has always been to meet the needs of our community with love, compassion, and care. Over the years, we've had the privilege of accepting clothing and other essential items from our generous donors, which allowed us to help those in need. Your kindness and contributions have made a profound difference in the lives of many, and we are deeply grateful for your unwavering support.

However, as we navigated the challenges brought on by the pandemic, we recognized a new and pressing need within our community. Many of our clients, particularly those with mobility issues, found it increasingly difficult to access our services in person. In response, we initiated a delivery program to ensure that everyone, regardless of their physical ability, could receive the support they need.

This delivery service has been a lifeline for many, and it has become a core part of how we serve our community. However, the space required to operate this program has led to some difficult decisions. To accommodate the delivery operation and continue providing essential services efficiently, we have had to repurpose the space that was previously dedicated to our clothing program.

We understand that this change may be disappointing for some, especially those who have faithfully donated clothing and other items over the years. Please know that this decision was not made lightly. It reflects our ongoing commitment to adapt and respond to the evolving needs of our community, always with the goal of serving in the most effective and compassionate way possible.

Looking forward, we are filled with optimism and hope. Our delivery program has opened up new possibilities for reaching those who are most vulnerable, and we are exploring additional ways to expand our services and impact. While we may no longer be able to accept clothing and other items, we remain deeply committed to supporting our community in every way we can.

We ask for your understanding and continued support as we move forward together. Your generosity has always been the foundation of our work, and we are confident that, with your help, we will continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

Thank you for standing with us as we embark on this new chapter. Together, we can continue to build a stronger, more inclusive community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Stratford House of Blessing Team
