In April and May we provided 634 wardrobes through our Curbside Service. And on June 2, we welcomed our first in-person shoppers since March! We are excited to be open again, and are taking extra precautions to protect the health of our shoppers, volunteers and staff. Take a look at our

Clothing Donations Accepted on Fridays
|
|
We are taking clothing and shoe donations again! Currently, we can accept donations on
Fridays only
between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm. We are in need of the basic wardrobe staples (shorts, pants, tops, shoes, etc.) but cannot accept "extras" at this time. Thank you for your support and understanding as we adjust to our new schedule and procedures.
|
|
Donating is Easy!
- Gather your clean and ready-to-wear items. Check our updated Donation Guidelines for ideas. Please sort items by category (girls, boys, young women, young men and shoes) to save time at drop-off.
- When you arrive, pull into our loading zone and wait in your car until any staff members or other donors are at a safe distance.
- Empty your donations into one of our rolling bins that will be located outside of our door.
- Please do not leave donations inside of plastic bags. Place your donations in our bins and take your bags with you to reuse.

Our crew of volunteer deal-finders has been putting in overtime to fill our racks.
Kathy Hoskins
(pictured here with two helpers from
Boys Team Charity

Just before we suspended in-person service, our Student Ambassador
Keira
came all the way from Boulder to deliver 20 bags of unclaimed lost and found items from two schools. She has been supporting our cause for three years because of her passion for recycling and giving clothes to those who need them. Thank you for your enthusiasm!
