Including her.
At 56, Carol has learned the value of what giving to others can do for your own soul by working here.
"I think this place saved me," Carol said.
She pauses, breathes in some cold air and continues her story. This chapter started a couple of years ago, on a cold January day. Her 14-year-old grandson, Cody Alexander, was the passenger in a car headed for Belton-Honea Path High School.
About a mile from the school, the Nissan ran off a curve in Clamp Drive in Belton. Cody died in that wreck.
And his grandmother nearly lost herself in her grief.
Until the clothes closet.
Carol said she first started dreaming about giving clothes and food to people. Then she'd wake with the urge to clean out her closet and her cupboards. When all that was done, she was still left with the same desire to help, but unsure what to do.
Then her preacher, Rev. Brad Hanks, at Middleton Road Baptist Church, stood up in church and told his congregation that the Lord had laid a mission on his heart.
