Who We Are
A ministry of Tuscarora Lutheran Parish aimed at serving our community with a variety of styles and sizes of FREE Clothing and shoes for Men, Women, Teens, Youth and Infants. Think of this as “hand-me-downs” from your neighborhood. There is no item limit and no documentation is required. The closet is open to the public one weekend quarterly: May, August, November and February.
Because this ministry runs on donations and is first-come, first-serve, we cannot guarantee sizes or styles will be available when you stop by. However, we do try to request donations for specific items when we see a shortage of a particular size or style.
A true community service, the clothes are sorted for quality and organized in an easy-to-find manner by classes at James Buchanan High School and local volunteers. We hope everyone on a budget will take advantage of this ministry!

Our goal is to provide gently worn and quality clothing to our neighbors. Please do not bring hard-worn, stained or ripped clothing or shoes. Volunteers check for quality; anything hard-worn, stained or ripped is disposed of – but it is helpful to limit waste as much as possible before the sorting process.
