We know these items are hard to find these days, but if you have any extra 100% cotton material or ¼ elastic please let us know! We are making cloth face coverings to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Please contact Fred Clark, CI Community Center Manager, if you are able to donate any of these items or make a financial contribution so we can purchase materials. Fred can be reached at fredc@columbiaindustries.com. Thank you!
We are all in this together. If you or someone you know have temporarily lost employment due to COVID-19, our staff can help process a Basic Food (food benefits) application. Please reach out to us today at empowermentplace@columbiaindustries.com for more information. This service is offered at no cost - please help us spread the word!
