The Clothes Closet
We operate a clothing closet for those who are in need of clothing. We do not limit the areas we serve, it is open to anyone who wants to visit us. Primarily we serve those in Southwest VA and Eastern TN. We have a big variety of sizes and styles for both men and women, boys and girls located in approximately 1800 square feet. Of course our selection is based on what people have donated and can vary sometimes by the day or week. While we may not have what you need or want on the Tuesday you visit, we could have it by the following month.
There is never any charge for the clothing. It is freely given to us and we freely give it away. You do not have to provide proof of income or proof that you are in need of it, we work strictly on the honor system. However we do ask that you would remember this is designed for those who are in need and we ask that you not come and take them to resell them at a flea market or yard sale. We do limit everyone to one visit per month and also may limit the number of certain items (i.e. small household appliances, blankets, etc) depending on what we have available.
***Our location is 1318 Lee Highway. Hours of operation are the first and third Tuesday from 5:00-7:00pm and by appointment.***
We also have some household items and do accept anything that could be used. At the current time we have dishes, bedding and knick knacks. At any given time you will also be able to find toys and occasionally holiday items.
Since moving to the Lee Highway location we have seen our volume of people double and triple each month over what it was previously when we were on Anderson St. Of course clothing donations have gone up as well but we are still in need of certain items.
We ALWAYS need x large and larger clothing, small shirts, t shirts, children's clothes, underclothes, socks, tennis shoes, men's jeans/ work pants, and sleepwear. These are items we just cannot keep enough of. We DO NOT need women's blazers or vests. Seems as though everyone has a few of these in the closets to donate but these are items that are just not taken. Pretty much anything else will find a home eventually.
If you are considering making a donation please remember to make sure the clothing is in good repair and clean. If it has buttons missing, a seam ripped, tears, or really badly stained then we are unable to use it. Please take the time to repair it before you bring it. Also please make sure the clothes are clean. We do receive donations from time to time that have not even been washed and we simply can't use these. It is difficult to believe but yes it does happen.
We desperately need your financial support to help us find a larger location. The building we are in simply is not big enough. Please consider this when you are looking for a worthwhile charity to donate financially to. Even if you can't afford to donate much, every $1 helps.
We also send items to missionaries as we have funds available. We are currently raising money to send another shipment to Pakistan. In times past we have sent clothing to missionaries in both Grenada and Niger. If you would like to mail a donation to help with shipping please consider doing so. We also are able to accept donations through Paypal.

We will be more than happy to mail you a receipt for your tax deductible contribution. When you donate to this ministry you will know that it is not going to pay salaries as everyone who works in this ministry is a volunteer. Instead it will go to help as many people as possible through the various works that we do.
