TAKE NEEDS YOUR FINANCIAL DONATIONS NOW MORE THAN EVER

We are taking a huge leap of faith in the community’s continued financial support for a major change in our operating expenses!

  • The Ankeny Klothing Exchange, Inc. (TAKE) is a non-profit organization that served our community at the Neveln Center for almost 30 years and another 3 years on NE Grant St.
  • TAKE relies solely on donations to provide families in need with free gently used and new clothing, shoes, linens, and small household items. No items are ever purchased, nor does TAKE ever charge for items.
  • We are entirely volunteer run—we have no paid staff or board members.

 

We are taking a huge leap of faith in the community’s financial support for a major step.  Our Board and volunteers are very excited about the purchase of this building on E. First Street to provide TAKE with a permanent home!  In looking at all available rental properties, it appeared that this purchase was far more cost effective for TAKE as a non-profit than leasing at current rents around town!

BUT TAKE NEEDS YOUR HELP!

The purchase of this property is subject to financing, which requires TAKE to raise $300,000 for down payment, refurbishing costs, and moving expenses.  TAKE now has over ONE HALF of the needed funds! We still need your ongoing support to keep our doors open and continue to serve the most vulnerable in our community.

Thank you for partnering with TAKE in serving our community’s most vulnerable!
