If everything is free, why are you so particular about the quality of donations?
People who shop at our Community Clothing Closet are often working hard to make ends meet and to provide all their families need. Our purpose is to provide our clients the essential items everyone needs, but also to do so in a way that promotes promote self-respect and dignity.
