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.
