Two Tunics is an outreach ministry in which Immanuel volunteers serve at the non-profit New Threads of Hope Warehouse (formerly CorpCare Distributions). Two Tunics is dedicated to fulfilling the Gospel injunction, “The man with two tunics should share with him who has none and the man who has food should do the same” (Luke 3:11).
New, discontinued, and overstocked clothing items are received weekly at the New Threads of Hope Warehouse (located at 801 S. 60th Street) from area and national retailers. Two Tunics ministers remove labels and box clothing items for distribution to people in need.
