Serve Moses Lake Clearinghouse
We are an advocacy service to provide agency referrals, prayer support and encouragement. Currently we only provide services to Moses Lake residents. Our connection center receives requests from potential clients for a variety of needs; financial, clothing, food, furniture, housing, non-food pantry items, and homeless outreach, etc. All our funds are provided by local churches and other community donors, not our office. In most cases a referral is recommended, and clients must follow our connection center process.
- we receive the initial request
- staff team review and verify information
- team resources a request appropriately
- staff volunteers connect to follow-up

Furniture & Household Ministry
Serve accepts donations of gently used furniture and household items that are clean and in good condition. A sample list is below. Once a client has met with an intake volunteer they might request furniture. This is one of the highest areas and if items are available, we are happy to help with their request. In some cases a client was once homeless and have now secured permanent housing for their families. Because of our generous community, our warehouse supply is fully stocked in all areas.
