The community’s donations to the Clothes Closet at Gloucester’s Newington Baptist Church are overflowing. “We appreciate the donation so much and love being able to pass them on to the community,” said Juli Schuszler Semanski. “Of course, the volunteers would appreciate if the donations could be bagged first,” she added. Here, Jeraldine Young, team leader for the Lighthouse Ladies, the Woman’s Missionary Union chapter at Newington Baptist Church, sorts through the donations.
