On behalf of King of kings, we will deliver 50 bath towels and wash cloths and 50 sets of twin bedding to the Macomb County nonprofit.

Located in Mt. Clemens, MCREST provides men, women, and children experiencing homelessness with a safe place to stay and the personalized support needed to rebuild their lives.

Sign up will be available in the Kok lobby July 5 - 19.
