Loaves and Fishes Clothing Closet

Clothing Closet

Providing clothing, hygiene items, and everyday essentials with dignity and care.

Every week, neighbors visit the Loaves & Fishes Clothing Closet for more than clothing. They come for dignity, comfort, and support. Our Clothing Closet serves individuals and families experiencing housing instability, financial hardship, reentry after incarceration, and other unexpected life transitions.

In addition to clothing, we offer personal care and hygiene items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, deodorant, menstrual products, and other everyday necessities.

Please Hold Winter Items

At this time, we are focused on summer clothing donations. Please hold winter coats, snow boots, heavy sweaters, and other cold-weather items until the fall.

Because our space is limited, donating seasonal items helps us better serve neighbors with what they need right now.

Donate With Dignity

Every donation helps a neighbor feel seen, valued, and cared for. Whether it is summer clothing for a growing child, an outfit for a job interview, or basic hygiene supplies, your generosity makes a meaningful difference.
