In March, the Murphy Scholars hosted a clothing drive on the Law School campus. We were able to collect about 10 bags of clothing items. We delivered the donations to Closet of Hope, a ministry located at the Bloomington Covenant Church. Closet of Hope started in 2012 when a high school student and his mom would make meals for people in downtown Minneapolis. They noticed the biggest need that people faced was CLOTHING. Today, the Closet of Hope is open to anyone in the public one Saturday each month. They currently have three rooms full of clothing for women, men, and children. Four of the Murphy Scholars Fellows spent a Saturday morning in March helping the mother who founded Closet of Hope sort clothes, fold socks, and chat about the amazing people who they’ve supported with their ministry.

This is the first service that the Murphy Scholars has done as part of our “Works of Mercy” series. We hope to continue our relationship with Closet of Hope, and to continue finding more ways to spread the love of Christ.
