CCO Volunteer Guidelines

Sign-up to volunteer

Connect & strengthen our city by offering free clothing to families in need. Our ministry is a vital resource for many low-income individuals in our city. Moreover, we aim to foster connections, engage in meaningful conversations, and provide prayer to those who want it. CCO is one of the many ministries available through the Dwell Community Church.

Please review our sorting instructions video before volunteering.
