TOWN OF PALATINE — Thanks to St. Pauly Textile, Inc., of Rochester, The Valley Alliance Church now has a 24 hour clothing and textile drop box. Previously, people were required to make appointments to drop off items, which the church provides to local people during their bi-monthly clothing ministry, in operation since December, 2004.
Before, Valley Alliance Church Pastor Dave Prahst would haul left over items to Albany to be re-donated, but now, St. Pauly Textile Inc. will pick up those items each week, and will provide reimbursement to the church for them. While the church can’t use the funding for operating expenses, there is a wide variety of things they can use the money for, including mission trips and to send kids to camp.
