When you donate your items to The Giving Closet, they help your community in so many ways. Whether they are chosen during the day by one of our shoppers or are hand selected by our volunteers to meet the needs of one of these programs that we offer, your donations are given freely to those who need it most!
New Mercies
A Supplemental Release Clothing Program in coordination with Columbia River Correctional Institute
The Giving Closet provides a box filled with basic clothing necessities for newly released inmates. These items assist with interview clothing as they seek a fresh start.
“The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning.” Lamentations 3:22-23
Redeemer’s Love
We partner with Option Youth Program, whose focus is high-risk transitional youth. The Giving Closet provides seasonal gifts, back to school supplies, clothing, and household goods hoping to instill confidence and encourage stability in their lives.
Warm Meals
The homeless that utilize The Giving Closet’s services are offered a warm meal during each visit. They are also offered a variety of food items and personal grooming supplies to carry with them when they go.
Christmas Celebration
Santa visits the Closet during December to deliver holiday cheer and his bag full of gifts. A photographer captures the moments and each family gets a free picture to take home.
Welcome Home Box
This box is offered to families that find themselves in harmful domestic situations and are referred to us by partnering agencies. It provides basic necessities that have helped hundreds of new homes have a fresh start.
