Opportunities From: Community Storehouse

The Clothing Closet is a vital resource that provides essential clothing to children and, in specific cases, to adults who are facing emergency needs such as job interviews, re-entry into the community, or homelessness.

Who We Serve

Children (ages 0–18): Up to 8 garments per child per request, every three months

Adults: Emergency-only requests, based on situational need

Clothing requests are submitted during a client’s Food Visit and are fulfilled by our dedicated volunteers in the Clothing Closet.

Volunteer Responsibilities

Volunteers are essential to the Clothing Closet’s operation. During any shift, you may be asked to help with:

Pulling clothing to fill family requests

Locating specific clothing sizes in the sorting area

Replenishing clothing baskets based on size and inventory need

Organizing and maintaining the Clothing Closet space

Sorting and processing donated clothing or unclaimed orders

Contacting clients for clarification on forms or to notify them of ready orders

Other general support tasks as needed

What to Wear

Please dress for the weather and task:

Comfortable, casual attire (e.g., shorts, t-shirts are acceptable)

Closed-toe shoes are required

Be prepared to be on your feet for part or all of your shift

Important Notes

If you sign up for a shift, please honor your commitment. If your availability changes, kindly remove yourself from the schedule as early as possible so another volunteer can fill that shift.

Volunteers ages 13–14 must be accompanied by an approved adult volunteer during the same shift.

Your time and dedication make a real difference! Thank you for helping us serve our community with dignity and care.

Volunteers must be 18 years or older and no longer in high school.

Please understand that this is NOT a volunteer position for someone who is filling community hours.
