TAKE’s Impact on individuals

“We refer students for coats, mittens, and boots regularly. TAKE has been a tremendous support for Ankeny community families to offer them what they need in a comfortable setting. There are items to meet the needs of all ages! Thank you for your service to our community!”

…Ankeny Middle School Counselors and Social Worker

“God Bless you all for all the help that you have done for me and my family. And I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Without you I don’t know what I would of (sic) done for Christmas.”

…A frequent TAKE shopper

 

“I always prefer bringing my donations here rather than other thrift stores because I know they go to people who truly need them and are given away free!”

…A frequent TAKE donor

“Thank you so much for your kindness in allowing participants to shop for their families this Christmas season! The volunteers who assisted our participants were amazing!! Our participants enjoy this treat you provide for them. Most of them are unable to get out to shop—and have such a low income that they cannot afford to buy gifts for their loved ones. Know that you make a huge difference in many lives!!”
