Rebekah’s Closet is a mission outreach to young families in the area seeking support providing for their infants and toddlers.
Hours are by appointment only; call the church office at (413) 532-1483. On the day and time of appointment, parents come to the door at 300 Appleton Street, ring the bell, and are welcomed into “the closet”. There they can receive diapers, wipes, clothing, toys, books, and furniture as they become available. A parent in need may come once a month with a letter from a social service agency, church, doctor’s office or school. There is no charge.
