CLOTHES CLOSET SHOPPING
The Clothes Closet offers 20-minute appointments for shopping, and clients may shop for clothes twice per month. Walk-in spots are usually available, but to reduce your wait time, we recommend making an appointment in advance. You may call 630-406-0036 to schedule your appointment, or schedule it online.
On your shopping day, please arrive 5-10 minutes before your scheduled time to get checked in. If you are late or miss your time, you will have to wait for a walk-in opening. If you are scheduling a food pickup on the same day, please let the Food Pantry staff know when they call to schedule your pick up. Thank you!
DONATIONS DROP-OFF
The Clothes Closet accepts in-season clothing (for example, light jackets in the spring; bathing suits and shorts in the summer; winter coats and heavy sweaters as winter approaches). If it’s something you or a family member would wear within the next month, now would be a great time to drop it off! We are not accepting women’s clothing at this time.
See the column on the right for drop-off hours. Please do not leave donations outside at other times.
