A warm welcome and a hot meal await visitors on Saturday, Oct. 14 as Central Church of Christ offers its annual Food & Raiment Day benefit to the community.The clothing giveaway and free luncheon will be underway from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm, according to Larry Smith, one of Central’s elders. Ample parking will be available on the church’s lot just off North Spring Street and across the street on the city pavement near the dry cleaning store.“We’ll have a large selection of clothing in most sizes for adults and children, along with shoes and boots and heavy-duty work clothing,” said Kim Cantrell, co-chairperson of the Food & Raiment organizing committee at Central. “One of our main goals is to get children fitted with proper winter clothing, including coats and rainwear,” she emphasized.Cantrell, who serves as principal of Morrison Elementary School, said the Christian family at Central is strongly focused on helping children as well as adults have the clothing, food and other essentials they will need with the approach of winter weather.
