The vision of giving to the community began with a coat drive of new and gently used coats. This was instituted as an outreach resource ministry from the House of Refuge for Healing, Deliverance, and Restoration (HDR). Individual and organization donors from the local and surrounding communities humbly and lovingly donated new and gently used coats for the annual coat drive. Over the years, the annual coat drive began to include clothing, household goods, and miscellaneous items. As the donors graciously gave us, we distributed the items to the community. Thus, the vision of The Distribution Hub became a reality, but not officially.
