Donate Clothing
Free Store distributes more than 1,500 items of clothing each month from both monetary and clothing donations.
We are always in need of gently used items (please nothing stained, dirty, or torn).
Need more information about what to donate?
We generally serve folks who are unsheltered, so we are unable to accept “dressy,” less practical items. That said, we have a very strong and immediate need for the basics. Our storage space is very limited, as is the bandwidth of the volunteers who sort and distribute items; please keep this in mind and do not donate anything broken, damaged, torn, or otherwise unusable.
