Hello Spring!   I know it might now seem like it but its coming.   We are starting to prepare for nice weather and lighter weight clothing. We will soon begin our transition from winter to spring.  We will begin to accept spring/summer clothing beginning March 14, 2023.  We will no longer be accepting fall/winter clothing until mid September.  Items we could use are childrens clothing, sneakers, full/queen size sheet and bath towels. Please place your donations in the 13 gallon white kitchen trash bags.  We have bags if you need them. They can be dropped off when we are open, Tuesday 10-12; Wednesday 4-6; and Saturday 9-11.   If you would like to purchase childrens clothing for us, Kid to Kid used clothing store on Ridge Rd next to Sketchers is a great place to shop.  We thank you all for your generosity this winter with jackets and blankets.  We will again ask for your help with these items in September. As we say goodbye to the winter months we look forward to the beautiful blue skies, birds chirping and blooming gardens.  God Bless You All !

Will the groundhog find his shadow or not?.  This is always a mystery.  We thank you all for your patience with us as we have slowly gotten back to a new normal position at the Clothing Closet.  Our clients have continued to shop with only being open three days per week.   Tuesdays, 10:00-12:00; Wednesdays, 4:00-6:00; and Saturday 9-11.  During the month of December we served 89 familes.   This is amazing as prior to Covid we would serve 100 families in December with be open 6 days per week.  At this time we would love to offer more days, but we cannot find the staff.   If you are interested in volunteering, please call our Program Coordinator at 585-397-2192.

Thanks to the generosity of so many groups, we were able to provide 80 children with 2 pairs of pajamas each with our Gift of Bedtime Reading Program in December.  Also during the months of December and January we distributed 100 blankets, 64 adult winter coats and 42 childrens jackets .  We could not do this without your continued support.

We will be restarting our springtime donations in late March.  We are always in dire need of kids clothing sizes 6-16, full and queen size sheet and bath towels.  As you prepare for springtime, please think of us for these donations.   Unforturnately, we cannot accept any winter items again in September.   Thanks so much for your kindness and thoughtfulness.

May the year 2023 bring you all good health, happiness , love and joy.   We are here to help as best as we can.   At this time we continue to have adult jackets and children's jackets.  We also have blankets and some pajamas available.   We will continue to be open Tuesday 10-12, Wednesday 4-6 and Saturday 9-11.  The Closet will continue to limit the number of clients in the store.  We do appreciate your patience and umderstanding.
