The Shepherd’s House needs extra-large men’s clothing

The Shepherd’s House shelter in Bend said this week that need is outpacing the demand for clothing for homeless men in extra-large sizes, including blue jeans, shirts and underwear.

“Donations seem to be slightly less this summer, but the demand continues, and so we are finding that we only have a few items in smaller sizes, but none in larger sizes,” says Brian Gatley, Director of Operations for The Shepherd’s House, “we also need socks, toiletries, and other personal items,” he continues.

The Shepherd’s House, founded in 2007 in Bend, provides shelter, counsel, food, and support for people in need, and provides a safe community where homeless men and women with children address the life-controlling issues that perpetuate the long-term cycles of pain and homelessness.

Donations can be delivered to 1854 NE Division St, just north of Revere on Division, almost any time. You can contact The Shepherd’s House at 541-388-2096 .
