How To Become a Client
You can receive free clothing 2 ways as outlined below.
In either case an Emergency Clothing Request Form must be completed for each person receiving services.
Referral Agency
We are connected to community members in need through direct referrals from a wide and long-standing network of schools and service agencies, many of whom are not accessing support services elsewhere. We recommend getting a referral from a participating agency. They can complete an Emergency Clothing Request Form on a client’s behalf and fax the form or submit it in person.
Walk-ins
A referral is not required. However, walk-in visits are not available at this time. To get service, you must complete an Emergency Clothing Request Form or a Diaper Request Form. You will then be notified when your requested items are ready for pick-up.
