Clothing Program
Bread for the City’s clothing room enjoys more than 700 visits each month. We offer attire, books, and small household goods for various seasons and occasions to our clients and their families.
All clothing and small goods are donated and provided free of charge. Toiletry packs (often containing soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, or other products) are also distributed through the clothing program.
Volunteers and donors are needed daily to help us maintain the space.
Volunteers offer critical support that ensures the clothing room is well-maintained. Volunteers sort and separate donated items, assist clients as they search for particular sizes and clothing types, help donors carry bulk items, clean and straighten the space, and perform other duties as assigned.
Melissa Frazier is responsible for supervising the operations, inventory, and distribution of Bread for the City's Food, Clothing, and Sustainable Agriculture divisions and the work of their associated staff. She also oversees all aspects of facilities maintenance and operations, repair, and renovation for the organization's two centers.
Sharlene Blount (Clothing Room Supervisor) has more than 29 years of service with Bread for the City. Her work has supported both centers, and her previous roles with the organization have included Front Desk Assistant, Clothing Room Coordinator, and Food Program Coordinator.
In times of crisis, we all need to come together.
Bread for the City is comprehensively responding to COVID-19 with expanded community partnerships, continual medical care, and responsible and creative programming so that we can meet our community’s needs.
Will you help us with a gift today? Together, we can meet these extraordinary times head-on and ensure that all DC residents remain safe, fed, and supported.
