The Clothes Closet will start taking donations on Wednesday, July 15th.

Please follow social distancing guidelines and wear a face mask when dropping off donations. We will accept donations at our retail site only:
  • Mondays 9:30 am – 12:00 noon
  • Wednesdays 9:30 am – 12 noon
  • Fridays 9:30 am – 12 noon
Here’s how to prepare your donations for safe delivery:
  • Items in plastic garbage bags harbor germs, bacteria, and mold.
  • Instead, please package all donations in safe containers including paper bags, boxes, and reusable tubs.
  • Make sure your donations are clean and in good repair.
  • Freshly laundered, wiped down using sanitizer, packed in safe containers.
  • If you have a large quantity of donations, please drop off in small batches so we may process your generous offerings.
At this time, our most needed items are:
  • children’s clothing
  • summer clothes
  • household items
  • back-to-school clothing
  • shoes
  • linens
Currently, we are NOT able to accept the following:
