Clothing Room
Year Round
Our free clothing room is often one of the busiest places at the Center. It is open during the Center's regular business hours.
In our clothing room, families in need, often find coats, boots, books, or blankets. Children's clothing is always one of our most needed items. The selection is usually large and varied depending on the donations that come in on any given day, from the giving people in our community. Our clothing room is always available to help fill the needs of those who might find themselves a dollar short on any given month.

Clothing donations are taken at most times that the Center is open, provided that we have the storage space. Simply call ahead and let us know that you are coming so that we can insure that we have storage room available to handle your donation. We will make sure that your donation reaches those in need.

For questions about our clothing room, please contact Diane DeMott, 832-3256. Volunteers are needed to help sort and organize.
